Im new to RS turbos so hi everyone. Im just wondering if currenly the market is down? I have only seen one series 2 turbo reach 2k! the rest seem to be in the hundreds. I thought they would be worth a fortune?

Welcome mate!
A good clean RS with history, receipts, etc.. will make 2G but there are plenty of dogs out there, or unfinished projects that will go for pennies.

new bottom end will sort that, only a few quid to spend and a day to change over.
i'm selling my cab turbo and i've noticed the market on a real slow down, last year i'd have gotten around 1200-1400 easy, not i'm well down on that figure.
