Title: Need a CHEAP turbo; broken, non-functional preferred.
Post by: tirefryr on November 24, 2011, 11:02:19 AM
Does anyone have anything cheap lying around they'd like to get rid of?  I'm looking to spend around $50 as it's for a gag present for my nephew.  He's a new driver and doesn't understand things too well and he told me he wants me to buy him a turbo for his little ZX2 for Christmas, so that's exactly what I'm going to do.

I have an IHI RHB5 from a Probe I could sell you.  It's too small for anything I would do with it but it supposedly came from a running car.  I could do $50 shipped on it.

Awesome!  I will let you know in a couple days.  I am working on a free one right now and that fits my budget better.

That VJ11 probe turbo is a very popular upgrade for the mazda 1.6 guys. They generally go for $100 or so.

Better watch out, it'd be pretty sweet if he found a way to hook it up to his escort... Never know, he might try. I would...

I highly doubt it, but if he does, more power to him.  He's not too mechanically inclined, but we shall see.  At least he'll have something cool to show his friends.

I think I still have a junk one here if you dont find one. I would guess shipping might be high due to weight but if you dont come up with one I'll find it.
