    This looks like that high rise turbo, and just coz it says garrett doesn't mean it is. these are cheap, they break and crack. I Cracked the exhaust housing on 1 in my Nissan EXA turbo, chipped the teeth on this paper weight and cracked the low mount manifold, so that to me means the turbo was slapped onto the last high comp motor.

    But as far as the car goes, as long as the body is in good nick and the running gear is good, feels tight and doesn't make weird noises then i would use that to barter the price drown. The rest comes down to how much are they roughly selling for and how much you want to pay.

    As far as

    So you recon the turbo is a complete no go? Or would it still be worth hooking up just for that extra power?\

    The body looks pretty straight, havent seen the interior and the motors only done 200 thou, I may go look at it on the weekend.

    You want a vl turbo and a patrol is what your saying lol.

    Firstly from what you said at the start and what your saying now is clashing, the body has done 200k, motor ?? Its probably second hand. The first 1 would have been high comp with a ebay special turbo kit with its guts thrashed out = blown original engine!
    Send me the link to the add so i can have a look at what it says.

    And remember the first car you see doesn't mean its the 1, and just coz its shiny doesn't mean its good either. Look in the search bar for "things to look out for?" i explain most of the qualities i look for in a car.
