^ OP, cheapest I've seen a new OEM S15 turbo is in the $600 range shipped. I know that Sean at Z1motorsports (a sponsor on here) sells them in that range. GL

Thanks guys,You would think I would learn, but I am always looking for a good deal. The internet is becoming the worst for it as you can not handle the product in person. I will check with the recommended places and go from there.NO MORE DUMB DUMB moves:rolleyes:
