Turbo charger?

[compjake]

I was just recently given a turbo chager from an older Subaru (unknown model) and im in need of some help to get info on it. since i dont have a Subaru i figured i would sell it but not knowing what its worth then i dont know how much to sell it for.

All i know about it is its made by IHI and it has "Turbo Spec. VI34 8611" ingraved in it. i know its not much to go on but i know you guys, and gals are smart; so please help me.

I am NOT going to risk having the turbo be bad.
Do your internet searches on those numbers, check ebay and list it as unknown condition.
Good luck

to me it is unknown condition but the person i got it from took it off there car the day before i picked it up and its supposed to be in 100% working condition. but as i dont have a car it will fit i cant test it.

Cool, Then list it as "Working when removed" and why it was removed.
This may be a great deal for you and the buyer!

thats what i figured but most people are going to want more information on it and what im asking for it. i cant tell them what i dont know lol.

Yeah and you don't want to sell it for a LOT less than you could have.
Good Luck with the number research.

as long as i get something out of it im happy, i got it free. how much does a turbo go for new? ive been looking for this one for about 3 days now and i cant find anything on it. i figured i could sell it for about 30-40% of a new or refurbished one, thats not too much is it?

Well the yards get as a rule of thumb 50% of new.
BUT spply and demand does change that.
