Anything you think is a flaw is dust.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

@Nasty Wendy, im interested in the equipment, but just coming off furloughs. Wait, actually I have one more day and then they will be over. I will tell you that I have been on the fence about buying anything used. The last turbo I purchased was used and supposedly  low miles, but I can tell you I didnt put many miles on it before I started seeing smoke out my exhaust. :( The turbo looks good, but I wont be making any moves until after this furlough.

The limited use it has seen has been with a PTE Turbo Saver installed as well.  I hadn't even run it on the car to make the 'witness' marks so that the wastegate hole could be enlarged.  A board member put up a TE45a in my price range and I purchased that.  The TE44 was driven from New Orleans to Bowling Green KY because I was using a 'slap freakin wore out' stock turbo and refused to make the trip with that POS on the car.  I had a brain fart and thought that was ~300 miles but it was a little over 600 miles.  That is the extent of use that turbo has seen.  It was removed from the car in Bowling Green and the TE45a was put on the car up there.
