Sorry for the delay in photo's. Had a barbecue / bonfire to go to last night. Too much beer for good photos when I got home
. Anyway, here are the pic's. I pulled the compressor housing so you could see the blades are good, no contact etc, heck the paint mark is still on the wheel! There is no shaft play other than what you would expect from a turbo sitting without oil for a little while, no in or out movement. Control lever for the vanes moves freely with out sticking or any binding.
I called a Garrett performance distributor about turbo maps for this unit. I was told they are proprietary to Garrett and they had no access to them, go figure. What he did say was that this will flow better than a non vnt 2056 and still have a quicker spool time. He said you could use the gt2056 map as a guideline, however it will be somewhat shifted to the right.
Here are the pic's. As a note, the turbine housing is bone dry without oil on it, no rust. It is still black iron. Looks oily in the photos but it is not.
cdnVWjunkie sent me a pm on 4/26 0900 with an expression of intrest, so he has first dibs if he wants it.
cyrus #1 is next in line with a 4/27 pm.
I will update if the transaction becomes final.

That is not rust on the blade, just some sort of grease or something.
Here is a close up of the turbine blades. Look at all those suckers! You can tell its been run, but this thing is still a very, very clean unit.
