FS: FP Green (non-HTA) Feeler

***Update Price***

Hey guys I've got an old style non-HTA FP Green that I'm thinking about selling. This one is in excellent condition with zero shaft play and about 15K miles on it. The WGA is included. Here's an idea of what I'm looking for:

Cash: $900 OBO shipped Sale Pending/Deposit Received 2/27/11

Trades
No longer looking for trades. Thanks anyway!

***Update 2/8/2011***
I spoke with Robert (I think that was his name) from FP today and he said not to worry about the little bit of oil on the hotside turbine wheel. He said that the seals are meant to work with the turbo when it's in a horizontal position and spinning, and it's totally possible and normal for a little bit of oil to leak out if the turbo is sitting stationary and in a vertical position, like it would be when it's in shipping.

I can check when I get home to see if it's oil. Definitely no shaft play though on either end Eveything appears to be in perfect condition as far as I can tell.

Ummm IDK man. That's kinda the funny part is that I'm worried that the Green might be too much for me . That's why I'm considering a IX turbo instead. PM me with what you got though. I'm open.

I'm not sure what WGA it is. Below is a pic of the only numbers or anything that I could find.



As far as the oil goes. I spent some time this morning looking everything over again. It does appear to be oil but there was a small puddle of oil still in the turbo when it was shipped to me so I'm guessing that's what it's from. I am by no means an expert on this, but I highly doubt that the turbo is blown based on several factors:
  1. The person I bought it from is a highly rated seller on this forum and said that he had zero issues with it before he pulled it off.
  2. There is zero shaft play on either side.
  3. The oil appears to be fresh, not burnt, and there are no other signs of burnt/used oil or oil residue on either side of the hotside.
If someone knows of a way that I can figure out for sure if it's blown or not then I'll be happy to look into it. Obviously I'd like to know for myself because when I bought this a few months ago I thought that I was getting a good, clean turbo and I will definitely need to talk to the previous seller if it's not.

I'm having a hard time finding any info on it. Can you send me a link or something? Is it stock frame?
