This is what ive bought,



Dont know what condition its in other than it spins which could mean anything. I see there are bits missing and the casting housing is point the wrong way.But its start on gathering the bits up.

saw that on ebay, looks like the bloke has the turbo on the wrong way round, and its missing the acuator bracket of the front of the compressor housing.

stick your finger in each end of the turbo and push the shaft in and out, if there is much play then it needs rebuilding, a little side to side play is acceptable as long as its within reason

should get it some time this week. i hope. Dont mind rebuilding it anyway for the sake of £50. Anyway i have manifold and plenum. I know i pay to much for it really. But to buy or get a plenum made was gona cost that £110 or more think i done all right

Surely if you need a flange that shape, you wont have any provision for a wastegate, unless you switch to an external wastegate.

Hi,
The Mirage T2 setup has the same shaped plate on the downpipe and still runs a internal WG *wink*
