I had this turbo built for a 1.6L/1.9L hybrid a few years ago. I managed to put about 200km's on the engine but due to engine build quality issues (people just don't know ***! --I read that on a post here a few mins ago... So true!) the project was shelved. So the turbo has sat in a bag in a box on a shelf in my garage ever since. The 1.6/1.9L did easily spin it to it's boost-controlled 35psi setting. I paid over $1000 for it through Giles' turbo shop partner.
It bolts to a regular TD exhaust manifold.
I'd like to see $850 for it.
Pics soon if anyone interested.
clarification: this turbo has 200 kilometers on it.

Garrett is a T3
KKK is a K24 or K26.
It is NOT a Garrett

Just trying to get the whoretex fell for a sec there

It is really expensive to have them rebuilt properly for sure.
To be honest you would probably be better off on E Bay just because of the masses of people you can reach there.

BUY THIS TURBO BEFORE YOU SHOW YOUR CHEAPNESS AND TRY TO DO THIS YOURSELF AND JUST END UP TRASHING AN ENGINE.
This is the same thing Im building. I have a the rebuild kit from Jake (I miss that guy) and I had my shaft/impeller/turbine balanced.
If anyone wants to attempt to build a turbo you can have your shaft balanced here:
http://www.gpopshop.com/balancing.htmlReally nice guys and at only $65 bucks its just WRONG to build a turbo without doing it.

without question, this badboy is built for the higher boost levels.
On a 1.6L IDI, it was at 35 psi (controller limited. Didn't drive the engine long enough to see what ultimate boost it could reach) by 3800 rpm.
For sure, a hopped-up 1.9L or a TDI would spool it up even faster.
