I bought a turbo off of some guy on the internet. He told me it was just rebuilt not that lond ago an it was a 66/65/13 High Tech Turbo. $900 was what he wanted for it there was the first red flag that i shouldnt have bought it. Needing a turbo i crossed my fingers an sent the 900, 5 days later i got it as soon as i opened the box i know it was junk. So i got on the phone yelled an gave this guy a hard time told him i wanted my money back he would only give me $600 back. So now i got a 300 piece of junk. Got to looking at it an it was a 64/65/13 some idot tryed to put a 66 wheel on an grind the housing to match an did a real bad job. I called up htt an they said it sounds like it can be fixed for around $600 to $700 so i sent it out b.c u get a 1 year warr with there rebuild. Got a call from htt saying it gonna be alot more than what was said $1100 it needed a complet rebuild the only thing that was good was the exhaust housing NICE. I said well i need a turbo get it fixed with the upgrade to a 66/65/13 the right way so im in this basicly brand new HTT 66/65/13 HTB2 that retails for $2000 for a little over $1400. I guess i lucked out but its just a big head ache.

I never buy used parts unless I know the seller.

I have also learned my lesson the hard way
