Free turbo?

My friend works on RX-7s a lot and offered to give me a free 8psi turbo for next to nothing ($50), what else would be required for me to get this up and running and is it worth it? Stock 97SE 5spd. Thanks!

So be basically just have the blower?

You'll need custom piping,intercooler,bov,gauges,etc... And if you don't have your exhaust work done you'll definitely need that too for a turbo. Free-flow is always better

so just wondering how much cash is he looking at? seems like a lot of custom work to fit the turbo on. I dont know much about turbos as well. I'm asking that pretty much if you took a turbo from one car for example skyline, it would take a lot of modification to fit it in the max?

How many miles are on it? What turbo is it? Dont' tell me its the factory one the car came with? All the parts listed above would be needed as well as much more...You looking at abotu 3-4 g's to do it rite assuming the turbo is even good.
