Smile I think I may have scored big time

A few months back my old 93 spec twins failed me, so I went onto a local trade site and eventually came across a guy selling ( what he said were) series 7 stock twins that had only done 30k and I managed to score them for $30 NZ ( YES $30 NZ).
When I get them I checked them over and they were in awesome condition so I was happy with the score.

Now today I have been doing a little research on stock twins and I've come across guys saying that the 99 spec twin have an abradable seal on the inside of the housings.
So I checked mine and they DO have this black plastic seal as well which looks like the abradable seal that the 99 spec turbos have.

Could my awesome score just gotten better??

I'll post pics when I get home ( I'm at work ) and let you decide

Excellent! Now you have 2 sets of turbo's that everyone else is ridding themselves of, and for an excellent price. Single and it's simplicity is the only way to go.

Anyway check the pics, is that the black abradable seal people talk about?
