Paid $8 for it.

Had a guy drop off a bunch of Audi S4 and misc. turbo parts @ my store and it was part of the lot. I did some quick eBay research - saw that these sell for $10, plus $10 shipping. After eBay fees & my commission he would have seen around $5.50 for it, so I figured I'd do us both a favor.

There are some other things I'm getting for a song out of the lot; a pair of OEM S4 sidemount intercoolers in good shape, a handful of braided steel fuel lines with some misc. -6 AN fittings, and misc. 2", 2.5", & 3" intercooler piping and couplers.

Short of a manifold, injectors, boost gauge, and exhaust routing, I have everything I need to boost the 4AGE just sitting around.

The turbocharger is a T25 from a 300ZX TT. My buddy upgraded his turbos and one of the stockies had just been replaced before he bought it, so it's in good shape.

Hmmm.... I'm thinking out loud again.

What do you think guys think? 165hp turbo on a $350 budget or patiently wait a few years till I'm ready to do a 20V swap?
