yes, but he inlcudes 30 dollars worth of hardware that you need to install it that nobody else tells you about till you get it home.
From what the turbo shop told me it's a V-band clamp holding the turbo together, and that's it.


I thought you were selling some soon or did I misread or misunderstood it
No need to be a ******** dude, I'm trying to figure out what would be a good price to sell them for.

btw, you will need new bolts/studs for the hotside as well as for the 02 housing as the oem ones will most likely not be reusable...im sure dyno4mance also includes the needed gaskets as well

yes a v-band clamp holds the turbo together, but you still need bolts to bolt the turbo back in

I wasn't trying to be one or the response would be different You were asking about a discount price for purchasing one and I was curious as to why since you mention about selling it. Good luck in saling cuz customer service should be #1 priority

exactly, thats why its 250. Those studs and bolts aren't cheap....neither are gaskets.

are the studs that hard to get out? i got out my mani easy and didn't have issues with the studs on the 02 housing, but i just had two nuts to get off the studs. i also didn't need to use any new parts/gaskets. $250 is competitive. $225 (w/bolts and studs apparently) will get people to get yours though. could you make it bigger then 10.5 cm? i will be your gunei pig for a bigger hotside on a stock turbo.

I was just calling a spade a spade. The text itself that he posted seemed harmless, but the little emoticons laughing would be that he's laughing or being sarcastic wouldn't it?

I can only be who I am, if that means that someone wouldn't buy from me because I didn't kiss up when I feel someone's being an idiot, then so beit.

After seeing the prices, I don't think I would be able to beat them and make any type of decent money.

Not true in my case from dyno4mance, for either the studs & cost of 250 shipped.

More like $273 to my door with no studs.

But can you walk to the dealer and get those studs for $5, probably not.

is it really worth getting?

should i add this to my mod list? I have a modest budget but 10 to 15 hp sounds pretty good for 250.

IMO, it is definitely worth getting. It is not just about the increase in HP, but the total feel through the rev range of the turbo. I felt an immediate kick and I didn't feel an increase in lag. Well worth the 220 or 250 dollars.
