hmmmm yes sir if that thing is not blown, ill take it.

if the seals are fine, ill pay 150 and cover shipping. I know it may be a pain, but i would like to see pics with the compressor housing removed. that will at least tell me if the seals are going up because ill be able to see dryed oil.

how many miles are on the turbo etc... and where is it located

thank you for getting back to me

any smoking???

it looks good. if its 7 bolt exhaust flange setup and it doesn't leak, ill take it man

seeing that its kinda older, would you take 100 for it?

there are a few on ebay that are like 45 bucks, but i dont know the guy selling it, Not to say that i know you at all, but its coming from someone that actually used the turbo.

na i just own an 240...

i mean bro if you can assure me that this thing doesnt have leaks/have major shaft play and its the same 7 bolt T3 that would come on an z31, ill take it. im only running 8psi right now and i know these turbos pretty much max out at 15 psi. i wil be just using this turbo for auto-x events untill i gather parts for my Holset H1C setup.

the stock T3 is efficient to about 18 psi but yes you need an I/C (yup that means Intercooler) as for the 7 bolt thing, what bolts are you talking abotu every nissan turbo I have seen has 5 bolts holding the internal wastegate to the hsousing, the outlet form the wastegate varies, you might want to post up a pic of the exhaust to turbo's exjaust side to be sure

bro my car is fully boosted lol. and has been so for a while. my original turbo developed shaft play and i had this T3 sitting around from a late model z31 that i pulled off at my shop. of course i had to convert it to external for personal reasons and also becuase your guys dumptube just doesn't physically fit into a 240 engine bay.it was cool and then drove from Baltimore to philly at low rpms becuase i was breaking in my new custom clutch setup.... then smoke came from every where and my day was ruined. i installed the turbo the night before trip.

the 7 bolts that i speak of is the exhaust flange ,

picture of my T3 with external setup 7 bolt flange just sitting and waiting for its turn lol
