What's a 500r worth?

I have a 500r from Aspec and not too long ago my motor threw an apex seal and shot right into the turbo. I am now running a different turbo and is thinking about selling my blown 500r. I know it needs a rebuild but Sean at Aspec seems to be busy so I was not able to get a rebuild quote from him. I did indeed make 370whp at 11-12psi letting off at 6k rpm. Any idea on how much I should have it listed for sale? All help and opinions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The turbo is not in my possession but at my tuners shop so I dont have any pictures of it.

try sending him a pm. he usually responds pretty well to them.

no clue on the price but it wouldn't be anywhere near what you paid for it.

Sean was out sick for a few days. Try him again. I have had good service from him when getting these turbos rebuilt.

They can be rebuilt, but not by everyone. Garret has a replacement program. Any garret dealer should be able to get you a replacement cartridge. Also, if its just the exhaust wheel that is damaged, it may be able to be repaired. I had Majestic Turbo fix mine years ago.
