WTB thread. Looking for used turbo components
I'm starting to spend the money now and I have a list of things I'm looking for. I'm not in a big hurry and I'll be posting on other forums and watching craigslist/ebay as well, just looking for deals incase you guys have stuff sitting around.
LIST:
BOV - pretty much any in decent condition. Not looking for a SSQV or any other "strange" sounding BOV
Wastegate - Need a 50mm (or bigger) wastegate, let me know what you have!
Boost controller - Mostly looking for an electronic one but if you can give me a killer deal on a manual then let me know
Intercooler - Preferably one around the 28x5x2 dimensions that fit easily under the 5.5 gen bumper support.
FPR - aeromotive/AEM, whatever you have.
Electric Oil Pump - Using this for my return oil line from the turbocharger.
Like I said I'm looking for used deals on this stuff, I'll want pictures and can send money via paypal or postal money order.

I'd actually like to go even bigger than 50mm. You having no idea about my application and telling me what I need is pretty funny. The turbo I'm going to be running is a T3/T4 hybrid with a .60 a/r housing on the exhaust side, pretty restrictive. I want to be able to spray nitrous on top of it to hopefully reach into the 400whp region while at the track and I'll need a big wastegate to give my exhaust enough flow up top without going with a bigger exhaust housing. I will also run into flow problems at high RPMs on lower boost settings with a smaller wastegate. I could go with a bigger turbo, but this one was free and is in great condition. I'm going to get my use out of it until I build and want something bigger.

IMO a used good oil pump will be better than a crappy new one for a similar price, so we'll see what I end up with.

I guess you havent seen the turbo i ran nor the turbo i am running. If YOU feel you need one that big go right ahead. My 38mm has no boost creep what so ever and never has. If you get good quality parts you dont have to bandaid it with larger ones. FYI. Good luck with the build.
I'd rather be safe than sorry and go ahead with a larger wastegate that can (hopefully) handle that kind of flow. Wastegate size is application based, and the opinion of myself and my friends who are helping with the project is that I should look for something bigger than 38mm or run dual 38mm if I'm going to spray a bunch of nitrous through a housing that won't be flowing well in the first place.
If i was running a properly sized turbine housing, I wouldn't get anything bigger than 38mm as wouldn't need to spray nitrous to reach the power numbers i'm aiming for, anyway, and the turbo would obviously flow enough.
Now from this point, if you don't mind, I'd like to keep this thread on topic. I'm buying what I see fit and your opinion, especially when you don't know the application, means jack **** to me. So you can nicely shove it up your *** and please stop cluttering my thread.
