wow, thats cheap

ask the seller if it is water cooled as well as oil cooled?

Wow, That isn't bad for the price!

I take it you are the winning bidder? (not you Tangles, but Jase)

*Update*

I didn't buy the one that Tangles and I looked at from ebay. found out that the wastegate has been welded shut and required an external wastegate.

I have purchase a Blitz SBC iD3 Spec-R Boost controller and a second hand turbo from ebay. HKS GT2535, has no shaft play and has only done 3000km on it. It's come off a R33 GTS-T and was boosted to about 10 psi. Also i get the dump pipe and all the lines as well. i'm not going to use the dump pipe(it's one of those screamer type dump pipes) should get it in about a week.

Hey BigDirtyJase how'd this work out?

Well I got the boost controller installed and that is running well...a few spikes in auto mode but then again test driving in rain (and on a road that's private property) doesn't help. Just need to play around the settings a bit more

I haven't installed my turbo and my cooling pro stealth intercooler yet as I have ran out of funds (rego and insurance time...yay...not) but I will definately have them installed by the new year...The only thing I saw today which its a concern is the nipple on piping from the bov is cracking or cracked and needs to be welded up again (atm the piping is blocked and I don't know if i need to route it)

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
