Where are the turbos?

[destineal]

I always read someone saying used garrets for $600+ on ebay. I'm looking at gt28rs on ebay and all i see are big money disco potatoes & $400+ no names.

3 days ago there was a stock GT2554 for $650. Look under mazdaspeed.

Are you looking for a replacement turbo or just so you knew where to go incase yours goes outs.

 

[destineal]

Looking just in case mine goes out. I'm over 90,000miles now. Ordered timing belt kit, drive belts, & valve cover gasket. Water pump also.

Pro Tip; Don't buy Turbo's off eBay.

Wish I still lived in stockbridge man, I lived there for 22 years. We have the same color MSP.

Was that you who went to the Car show in Mcdonough earlier this year??

 

[HighSpeed]

yeah, well I drove by on a sunday i think. It was at the park. There was a spicy orange one there also who was part of the "show". I was driving the black one that was in the parking lot.

 

[destineal]

Yea, that was Nick. I came but then I had to leave to go help my gf who decided to try to drive knowing her check engine light was on. She broke down in Love Joy. I was pissed, When I got back Nick was saying there was a Black MSP here not too long ago and I was like, "yeah, that was me". Then he clued me in that the driver had drove from AL. Wish we could have met, because that Spicy was the only MSPer I have met.

 

[HighSpeed]

Damn that sucks that we probably missed each other by minutes then. Well good luck. I won't be back for quite sometime, I am deployed right now. Good thing is that I am pretty sure that I will start a big build when I get back on the MSP. I can't seem to want to sell it

 

[destineal]

Nice. Don't sell the MSP. I'm looking for a 2nd one since I'm dogging this one out

 

[Ricktalife]

If you keep your eye on the F/S section you are likely to find a 28rs for as low as $800. I've even seen some selling for less than that, which is a steal if you ask me.

 

[yudkib]

theres a 28r for 700 right now, if i remember.

You should look on Zilvia.net in the FS forum. Lots of big turbos for good prices.
