What a score!!
My old turbos are starting to get pretty tired, latley they'e been blowin a bit of oil and the endplay is getting worse so I'm thinking either rebuild or new.
I've been scopeing the local trade sites and yesterday I scored big time. This dude was selling a set of series 7 twins on behalf of a freind in an 3 day auction with $1 reserve, he had advertised them as S7 TT which obviously attracted no interest as I ended up winning the auction for $25 ( US$12). I gave the guy a ring and went round to take a look, they are mint as S7 twins complete with manfold, Y-pipe etc with only 55K on them. I'm gonna do a complete non - seq on them, now comes the fun part of removing the old ones. |
$12. How did the seller let it go for that. In person even! Does he have any other parts for sale.
|
Jackpot!
|
WOW...good buy!
|
holy crap! major score!
|
lucky! damn, u make a profit if u sold ur old turbos for more than 12 usd lol
|
Nice deal. Find any pots of gold lately?? :D
|
i hope you gave him a little extra, i'm sure you know how it feels to get hosed on a deal and don't give me the crap line that it was his fault for putting no reserve.
it's your own choice though but what comes around goes around. :p: |
S7=jspec '99?
|
You actually have them in hand? I could see how someone would try to renig on that sale...

S6 = '93-'95 S7 = '96-'98 S8 = '99+ Good find though! |
well to be honest I was a little sus on the whole thing, but considering it was only $25 and he was local I though it low risk . he was a young guy and when i saw the turbos I thought holy shit its all true, i asked him if he was going single and he said "yeah, I'm putting a S4 turbo on it" thats right about where I thought " ????!!!!!!!!"
I did offer him a little advice and told him he may have some overboost issues with the S4 wastegate blah blah,cmon we all know its a ludicrouse idea but I didnt want to mention anything about the fact he was going to lose HP otherwise he'd probably change his mind about the twins. BTW, he had a sliver RS 96 |
DAMM lucky guy. Compliments though.

just some pics of my $30 S7 twins.
I've never had twins off before, Damn they're a lot heavier than I thought. Can anyone see any ( visual) problems with these? They guy told me he had them checked out and they were in almost mint condition. Is there anything I can check myself before bolting them up? |
I dont see any hairline cracks in the pics.....but they look pretty damn good! I'll give ya $31 for them!
