I'd be carefully if I were you. Ebay can be a bad place to make performance purchases. If it's warrantied by Turbonetics, that's one thing but, many things when sold on ebay aren't. It could be a rebuilt turbo, it could have had a defect and sold wholesale by turbonetics ????

You're always better off purchasing from some one that's there for you when you need them

Tritont.... you always beat me to it

It looks like its going to need some adaption to make it fit too. If you read all the stuff it sounds kinda fishy. Any vendor in good standing will not advertise selling below MAP or suggested pricing. That almost always voids whatever contract they have with the Mfg.

But lets get to the turbo itself, how do you guys think it will run? I'm actually looking at buying this very turbo(New from Turbonetics) pretty soon. I know it spools up faster than a BD Special......

I would LOVE to have a 66 BB turbo. I will probably have either a Turbonetics or a Garrett. They are pretty nasty for a single application. I know Turbonetics are very popular in high HP gassers and are known for their durability.

I love my stage 2 garrett spools way fast, makes an excellent daily driver. Its for sure not as big as a 66 but it works for me. Cant believe that others have not tried these bb units. Hey tritont nice to see you got your sig back.....

theres been alot of 66mm turbos for sale on here. I would buy something that actually fits a cummins not something that takes tons of modification just to save a couple hundred bucks
