whats it worth?
Turbo Mini Forums

basically im half considering getting rid of my spare turbo to fund some shiny bits for when the mini's back from restoration.

T3 unit with exhaust manifold. turbo spins fine, has no play, has a small chip out of one of the fins. doesnt have anything else (no elbow, actuator, etc)
also ive got a Metro turbo carb laying around somewhere, never played with it but presume it works hapilly enough.
these items came off a 50k miles engine....at least thats what i was told.

what should i be expecting to get through private sale? (someone in the mini club is after a turbo see..so quick replys are apreciated..)
if its a half decent amount ill consider getting shot of it, otherwise ill keep it as a spare..

cheers people!

around £50 for the carb is the norm i think.

thanks for the quick reply! thats cool, any ideas on the turbo itself?

no positive idea on the turbo, they seem to vary a lot on the price. Proven t3's probably go for £150-£200, good t3's unproven with all the bits probs £100 and £50-£75 one without all the bits. Theres quiet a few on the bay.

£30 for a carb needing rebiuld, £50 for an average quality one. £120 for a rebuilt one.

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

I would have thought that one with a bit missing on a fin isnt worth much as it will out of balance?

yeah thats what i thought... thats why i figured id ask on here for ideas... =/
