Now that the important stuff is out of the way, here we go. Got this stuff in an awesome trade. I traded all the underhood ac stuff and power steering lines for a 240. I part out cars so it was just stuff i have laying around. I think the turbo needs to be rebuilt because it has some shaft play and is really oily. The turbo manifold looks to be an ebay t3/t4. The guy forgot to bring me a box of other stuff. He said it had a turbo timer, something he thought was a boost controller, and a fuel pressure regulator. The way he was talking though i think it may be an fmu though. He diddnt know much about the stuff. It came off a 240 he bought. I mainly jumped on the deal because i knew the FMIC with all the tubing and couplers was worth it. Ill post up pics of the rest of the stuff when i get it.

i do have a question though, what is this "nipple" on the turbo manifold?

I already have most everythhing to build my motor. Supertech 89.5 pistons, eagle rods, clevite bearings, arps bolts all the way around, cometic gasket kit, and a fully rebuilt head with stage 2 bc sams in it. Just need a nissan timing chain kit and oil pump. I plan on getting the engine put together this christmas and experiment with boosting on a stock motor thats currently in my 240. I wanna do a "budget" setup just for fun and learning. probably 7 or 8 lbs with an fmu until i go all out. I used to have a 75 shot but i want that 'kick" all the time.

Looks like you bought a blown turbo judging from all the oil everywhere inside it.

That nipple is someones joke idea of an EGR valve tube fitting. Just block it off/ignore it, whatever.

i diddnt buy any of it for the record, i gave him an ac system for a 240 for this stuff. i normally just scrap that stuff. so basically its free. i already made my money of those 240's im parting.
