IMO it is risky but if it were to come from a running car I would pay up to $350.

Thanks for quick response. The guy says
It blew up in 2nd gear at 2800 rpm But you I'll never know the truth.

If he selling his for $500 then mine is pretty cheap for brand new no miles for $850.

You could low ball him then send it out to TurboLab for a rebuild just for piece of mind. Generally when you have a catastrophic engine failure you replace everything the oil goes through.
