Like you said yours is a working unit. Click to expand... Awesome!! I will give him credit that it works and offer him 150.00 shipped and take the hit on the PP fees. A core is a core to me working or not and I could send it in for a rebuild before mine craps out. I've learned my lesson on good working low mileage turbos that I was lucky to get 90 days out of them before they chit the bed.
