came across this company on a search engine, is this a standard t3 and would it fit my s2?, seems cheap around 400 quid for a new turbo, one problem its in the usa!!, but they do ship!, turbos are so expensive in the uk nowadays!!

seen the price of turbos in the uk now is getting stupid, its coz the t3 is getting rarer in the uk, but i suspose not in the us, just need to know if its up to the job of running 20psi as i dont know much about the spec numbers and if it will bolt on the s2 manifold
my turbo smokes more than a chainsmoker at the moment

There are some supplier in the usa who can send a turbo like that to you, and then send it over with a bill saying it costs alot les.. SOME people do that to avoid getting caught and paying a big import tax...

Don't know the import tax in the uk.. but its there so you cant import loads of parts cheap... you do have one dont you?
Anyway, some guys here in denmark do it to avoid a 25% import tax on the stuff they bought.. and if the note says the turbo only cost them £50 the tax is small
