AznDrgn has a Merkur XR4Ti (2.3L turbocharged) sitting in his yard that is fair game. You just have to go get it. It may even run too! Who's game to find out?

Merkur is gone or else I would have run it over with the lifted Jeep already.

Tim,
If it only needs a rebuild, you might want a little more for it than we're all looking to spend. I may be wrong, though.

I'm looking for one as a display piece. Judging from one of BigNNasty's earlier posts, he's also looking for one for the same reason.

Raptor hit the nail on the head.

I plan on putting it on my TV stand, or computer Stand so I can see it every day.

Also, to see how one works...

Any pics/prices yet?

Okay guys.. I have a k26/6 that's new and rebuilt.. Here's the problem.. It was purchased by the PO of my car on e-bay, and the oil and coolant lines don't match up to my car, however the compressor housings and all that is the same as the Porsche k26/6. I was going to put a post up and ask what this could be off of, but I never got around to it.

Anyway I would much rather see this go to someone who is going to use it in a car, but if it's of no use to anyone I'll pass it along to the "I want it on my TV stand" guy.. But I don't think there is any shortage of chewed up turbo's on rennlist.
