Default garrett turbo

Any thought on this ebay turbo as it would apply to a non turbo 964 c2
seems to cheap to be useable.

Would you not have to have lower compression pistons to run a turbo?

You'd also need about $15k for the other parts required to convert from NA to a turbo.

A T04E-60 is an old turbo and there are much better alternatives that will have improved performance. A 964 engine makes a good basis for a turbo engine and it is easy to lower the compression with the stock pistons.

Try not to buy turbos from ebay. You don't know where it's been, and what core/inner parts it could be running, etc.
