Im thinking about buying this turbo from a friend, but don't know if it good or not. Its a turbonetics comp. 0.60 trim AR turbine. I was planing on piecing a turbo kit together. Its a b18c with cp 9.1 pistons and Eagle rods.I ways hoping for around 300hp

not a big turbonetics fan, but as long as its in good condition and if the price is right it should be pretty good. And 300 on a gsr is easily doable.

The turbo was rebuilt and there is no shaft play in the turbo. I know the motor can handle the power I was just curious if that turbo can get me there? PLus the guy had it for awhile and at first wanted $300 for it. went by there today and he said $150 so I think its a awesome deal

Most 60 trims are rated at upwards of 400-500hp.

Did they balance the turbo after being rebuilt?

You need more info on this turbo to know what its potential is.
A bone stock gsr will handle 350-400 without a problem.

Im not to sure if it was balance or not after rebuild. People are telling me that its kinda small but i'll spool up fast but might not be that good at higher rpms. Is this true? All I know about the turbo is its rebuilt and the guy told me the specs were for it is compressor is 0.60 trim and .48 for the AR turbine

I had the guy i bought the turbo from write down the specs for the turbo and this is all he told me .60 trim .48 ar . Thats all I really know about it. I don't really know to much about turbos and the numbers that they have to do with the trim and ar turbine. .60 trim .48 ar

You need to find out more about the turbo. Trim doesnt matter too much. Find out what turbo it is. If anything, take pictures of it and post them up.
