 $35 way down the list.
 Described as a "Mark IV TDI k03 turbo (bad, does not spin, turbine damage) - $35"

 Lots of good stuff, not sure how I found this post.

is that thing even worth getting? mine spins and makes boost, just has bad bearings and seals. the compressor was taken off and never clocked properly with the turbine, causing it to be un balanced. so it just eats the bearings.

because the bearings are so bad that the turbine and compressor wheel are too small. the housings both look fine, but they are definately too small.
