Found a turbo for cheap..

I found this turbo.. Thinking about picking it up and maybe using it but most likely just flipping it for profit is there anything I should look for when checking it out?

It seems kinda strange to me that this guy doesn't have any info on it what so ever. But it might be worth checking out, check with him and see if he knows the size or anything, how many miles are on it, if he knows what car it came off of, and check the fins on the turbo and see how they look. I'm no turbo expert, hut that's what i'd do

Weird I asked if it was still available he said no but that he would have 4 more in a couple of hours for $100 each... Seems a bit sketchy.

See if it spins by hand easily without make any noises or uneven restsistance. There will be some shaft play becuase there is no oil pressure on the bearing. But make sure there is no contact between the wheel and the housing and there isnt any evidence of prior contact such as scuffing. But even if you have to rebuild it, $80 is still a good price.

Definetly feels like they are stolen to me.. hahaha

Ok thanks for the info I guess it wouldn't hurt to check them out but I definitely don't want to buy something stolen..
