Ok, im gonna post here cause my friend dosent visit this forum. a good friend of mine was in a serious accident where his S13 W/ a CA18 was totaled. from donations we have gotten him a new car and it almost back into the state it was in. the only thing that is left is the turbo. it was heaily damaged beyond repair from the accident.

so im asking here, in the RB forum, to help my friend out. does ANYONE have an extra turbo lying around they can donate/sell for CHEAP? please? he is going through a very bad depression right now (he was hit by a drunk driver with no insurance, he only has liability and no lawyer will touch his case without a minimum 1500$ payment. he broke his femur so was on crutches for about 6 weeks but can now walk nearly normal again) we, the local arizona 240 board have taken nearly 1000$ in donations to help him but the last thing left is a turbo.

ANYTHING you can guys do to help is greatly appreciated.

Sweet, actually, madsi is still over in OKI, he can probably snake a turbo for damn cheap if he doesn't have a spare lying around. I'll shoot him an email.

I don't have a stock one but I saw one yesterday. I didn't look at it to see if it was good though. I have a full HKS turbine kit for the CA; manifold, wastegate and T04E turbo. E-mail me [email protected]

lol, ah come on guys. its not that bad

but i found out the turbo was just falling off the manifold. those damn little metal tabs dont do crap. anyways its all fixed now.

still trying to source my t3/t4 setup, if i can work it out soon and WDracing doesnt mine, this one can go to alf

.....17psi owned me!!!! (more like owned nissans ceramic exhaust wheel)
