I would feel dodge about buying a half cut that has been modded up.. you don't know the kind of arse kicking someone has given it.. how hard they have pushed it... at least you know with a stock half cut they can't have flogged it more then the designer guides

well looking at the trubo.. it aint stock.. it has a custom manifold on it.. and if you look at it.. the intake is facing the altanator not the battery.. so after market turbo (unknown boost) front mount, custom down pipe

Looking at the design of the turbo, Im 99% on it being a Trust, and Id lay money on it being a TD06-20G.
The red and blue shiny bit is just a tricky looking fitting for a breather line or something. Speedflow or more likely Earls no doubt.

there is nothing in the ad that stipulates that the half cut pictured is the one for sale.
QUOTE " When the product is purchased, the item will be shipped and may take up to 2 weeks before arrival."
so how does one know what they are getting.
I have asked the seller a question on whether the sale is on the ST205 half cut, but have yet to receive a reply.
just raising an important issue.

i've also done a bit of history checking on the seller. All he normally sells (and racked up 95% of his feedback score on), is broken mobile phones for about $10 a pop. All of a sudden he is taking direct deposits for a expensive half cut that lives overseas and isn't even in the country.
