Look at the very last picture. Only the compressor side is shown and the exhaust side is missing. If it was there you would still see it behind the compressor side as it is larger. He also states you only get the compressor housing with the compressor and exhaust turbine. Reread it and I'm not talking about the single bold sentence at the bottom of the page.

Turbo has an exhaust turbine A/R of .48 and a compressor trim of 60
The CHRA is a reman peice that has been balanced on the New Autotrack 2000 Heins balancing machine
The Turbonetics Compressor housing has a very favorable, large 3" inlet for less restriction.
This turbo will support up to 300 HP on any 4 cyl engine from 1.6 to 3 liters, with boost up to 25psi.
Turbo can be used with internal or external wastegate.
You will not find a better turbo for the money, I gaurantee it!

Not to beat a dead horse or anything

Things that worry me in bold. Also EvoDan that compressor housing is polished as the seller states the turbo does not come with a polished compressor housing so that cannot be said turbo for said former auction Anyays the auctioneer here is a big moron; or just another one of those I don't know how to read or write in english sellers which I dislike o so much in any event. NMP.

But no exhaust housing.

This dead horse is now a beaten pulp.

As we both know T3s usually come with internal wastegates on their (missing here) Turbine Housing.

If you mean motojoe, he knows turbo systems and did everything himself. If you have the tools, material, a second car and free time then a custom, homemade setup is a great way to go.

Let's sum this up, unless you plan on doing the labor yourself, and the custom fabbing (sp?), you're gonna spend the same if not more as the kit would cost. In other words, under these circumstances you're better off with the kit.
