At $1650 but will match any price. Haven't looked elsewhere recently.

I couldn't tell you what bolts on etc, but can provide plenty of compressor maps and turbo info if required.

you sure you want a disco potato ??

thats a turbo developed and trimmed for a sr20 motor (2lt petrol) for comp use. not really suited to your purpose.

but if it is what you want, try japanese motorsport in adelaide, or grab a copy of zoom magazine, it has all the ads for jap importers of new and used gear.
