be careful about buying things from people that they know nothing about, no good can come from it

You would want to see the condition of the blades. You need to take off the housings in order to get a good look.

if it is a stock turbo off a grand national "which it appears to be" it would be to small for a VQ, a t3 .63 a/r turbine housing would choke it pretty bad in the top end

it looks very simalare to this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/86-87...QQcmdZViewItem

No. That seems sketchy as hell.
