anyone bored?

 

The turbo is not a china turbo ?

 

I'm guessing it is china and he's just lying. It would take alot of polishing to get rid of the tnetics logo thats cast in. And even so, a $600 turbo doesn't make $200 worth of intercooler piping and log manifold worth $2500! Who is this guy, PTM?

 

That's a nice cast manifold, doubt its a turbonetics, but could be an older one before all the cast logo housings. Stsinless steel bolt on parts isn't supid but kinda high priced compared to mustang kits.

 

its all no name ebay garbage guaranteed

 

That's an awefully nice center shaft nut to be china made. Details are there to be legit if ya look close enough. That manifold is also a nicely casted piece unlike chinas ruff shitty quality stuff.

 

Makes me wonder why nobody still makes cast manifolds for mustangs, shit they last for ever and never burn through and no merge.

 

Because everyone is putting LS engines in their Mustangs for $200, and they come with cast manifolds!

 

That's a China turbo and China cast manifold.

He most likely bought it from some other idiot who had him convinced it was good shit.

 

Why is there a HEX carved into the compressor wheel?

Such a "SMOKING" deal.

 

Where , don't see it.

 

Good find and can't believe something cast is that cheap. Shit ya can barely get a decent meal for that asking price.

 

I have never seen the cast stuff have issues either. Wish there was knock of cast v8 stuff!

 

There is a 12point flange compressor nut, look underneath...

 

Fark, $59.99 SHIPPED. SO - <$15 shipping brings it to $45 then say 40% markup drops it to $27 and that includes all freight/tax from china.
If its cast from general purpose iron, they don't last. If its high nickel like all turbine housings welllll chances of the no-name e-bay slinging syndicates running the real developer out is really HIGH.
