Up for grabs is a Tomei ARMS turbocharger kit for the Evo. I purchased this kit very gently used from a friend and it basically looks brand spankin' new. I can't say I know the exact mileage it was used for, but I was told it was a very short amount of time (think a couple of tanks of gas tops.) This is the revised version where they fixed the actuator.

Oil lines and the J pipe are included making this a bolt-on affair. This is a great turbocharger for someone looking to bump the power from the stock Evo VIII turbo to a reasonable level without sacrificing reliability or drivability. Some people talk bad about this turbo, but IMO they don't truly understand what Tomei intended this turbo to be- a reliable bump in power.

I'm torn on selling this since there isn't another setup out there I would rather run on my car, but we've got our second baby on the way and I wouldn't mind the extra cash. However, I'm not desperate to sell it if the right buyer doesn't come along.

Here are some pics. No shaft play. There's a little bit of packing peanut residue on it and a small chip in the blue finish on the actuator, but it's solid otherwise:

I'd like to see $975 shipped and PayPaled OBO for the turbo setup. Item will be shipped the day after purchase via UPS with tracking number, full insurance, and quality packaging. If you have any questions or additional pic requests, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM. Thanks for the interest!

Bump!

 

Were the oil and water ports sealed at all to prevent anything (esp packaging residue) from getting in there most importantly?

 

Yes, the ports were sealed during shipping. It's five seconds with an air compressor away from clean. fair question.
