I have a friend who has a ct26 turbo, for those of you who don't know what that's from its off of a mr2, and he is trying to sell it to me with the manifold for 300??? What do you guys think of the turbo as well as the price?

anything?

lil much since you will need alot to complete it, there's complete turbo set ups for $400

what do you think about the turbo tho?

-how long was it used for?
-did he turbo time or did he just shut his car off after he drove it/beat on it?
-is there any noticable problems? - shaft play? oil leaks due to a bad seal inside the turbo?
-was it ever rebuilt?


if youre gonna use that turbo id find a rebuild kit and get it rebuilt but there are other better ways as id3379 said. but for a $400 kit i wouldnt expect really good parts. you could spend 1-2k and have a great DIY kit.

yes, the kits that have those cheap manifolds that crack super easily, ebay kits and kits off craigs list is what i was specifically refereeing to. but like you said for the good kits you'll spend around $1000-$3k all on how you do your set up
