Looks pretty good, Id be a little anxious about the sellers feedback and age on ebay, but hes sold a lot of stuff on ebay in the last 6 months.
Probably worth $200, if you dont use it you can flip it to a local for more.

The turbo is off a tractor and apparently built in England, it wont be too easy to dig up info, but it basically looks like a 50 trim with .50 AR compressor and massive turbine housing. You would likely be able to swap on a different .48 or .63 turbine housing which would make it more KA friendly. Id still run this over an SSAutochrome turbo.

Too much. i was looking for turbines and it will be around $200 for a turbine and housing.
I just bought two turbonetics turbos off ebay for $300. They need a rebuild which I will do but I am going to sell one back and recover my money.

yea I feel you. I have a greddy compressor 60-1 hi fi and turbonectics rear end with 360* thrust bearing. The turbine shaft was cross threaded. This is why i bought the turbos. So i can take the bigger rear a/r and bolt with my 60-1. Both are turbonectics back end but one is turbonectics front and the other is a generic compressor housing. If the turbonectis front is similiar to my 60-1, i will use this since it is polished.

the turbine does look good. basically if you cannot see through the fins, then it will boost quick but choke on top.
