The number one complaint in the sales section is turbos not as described. So this is to help curve some of those complaints.
Sellers-
Must provide clear pictures of both compressor wheel and turbine wheel (basically intake side and exhaust side)
Pack them to withstand a drop from at least four feet. If you packing two turbos together, make sure they cannot shift in the box once it closed.
Buyers-
Ask questions and request additional pictures if you have any concerns.
If the price is an "awesome" deal, you might as well assume they will need rebuilt.
I don't know much about turbos, so those that do feel free to add additional pointer about buying/selling used turbos.
