turbo

I have a T3 off of a Merkur with the smaller .48 exhaust housing, but the comprssor sucked up dirt somewhere along the way and has rough blades. On the other hand, I also have a 57 trim T4.....

You might tell him to try Ebay or turbomustangs.com. There are lots of Volvo T3s on Fleabay and lots of JY builds on TM use similar. Maybe check the classfieds. Just don't let him overpay for a T3; even a decent used one is NOT worth $150. Then again, used Holsets aren't worth $350, but people still pay.

Don't let him get one of the Chinese junkers, either.
