hummm... Well, you need a turbo for your project, are you upgrading, going bigger or just buying new?

My guess is getting mine re-built with all new parts etc. will be $500 (balanced and done). That's just a guess but it seems right. Since I'd be getting mystery turbo (yes I know the truck was running) but it could die at any momment and since I've never made a joke about your windsheildl; $250? Or you can just buy the truck since you already have a turbo to put in it. I'll even deliver or pick up depending.

Depending on how mad I am at the truck I'll probably start diagnosing this weekend to make sure it really is the turbo. I half expect to pull the inlet off and have a litre of oil poor out.

Thanks for all the help guys.
