Look what fell into my lap
for $50 i got a td05h 14b turbo off a 1g eclipse including a new set of gaskets...it has 100k on it but looks in decent shape...i'm gonna rebuild it and install new bearings, etc.
this will be a fun future d16a6 project as i already have an hf manifold lying around from a previous swap
here's some pics
old hf header
wonder if these are bad things with it...
turbine housing cracks (they are small and don't look threatening...i haven't polished it yet to see the full extent)

good lucky buddy looks kinda old and crusty but hopefully with some work and not too much $$$ you can make something nice out of it, and if for the 50$ u can do it you'll save alot over buying a new one for 2k, but like i said good luck to you

it's in good shape...minimal shaft play...but for $100 i'm gonna get the rebuild kit and port the turbo
it even came with new gaskets and a 3 month old o2 sensor!
it was just the small cracks that worried me...but after posting on some dsm sites those are quite common and do little to reduce its lifetime (almost all of them crack like that after a while...this one has 100k miles on it)
