Default Cosworth turbo with rst housing

Hello guys I'm thinking of buying one thats for sale but will it be any good on a 2.0 zetec turbo at a bar of boost?

Opinions please?

Yes it will be spot on with the matching compressor, basically a whole Cossie T3.

Yeah that's essentially a 2WD Cossie T3, as I'm sure you know the RST down pipe will not fit the Cossie housing though.

Completely std T3 2wd cossie turbo. As i said, no up or down play in the shaft nor in and out. Was on my car but it spun a shell. Engine was standard, not chipped etc so the turbo has not had a hard life. Ive used the same engine in my P100 but buying a T36 off of Tony.

Ill put some pics up if your interested.
