Default MD321H or SC420 or good 400bhp turbo for classic sti

Looking for a turbo for around 400bhp, must be standard fitment for classic sti.

Ideally want an MD321T or SC42 but will consider anything of similar spec. Want to keep spool reasonable and stock motor so nothing larger than these please.

Hi mate, without being rude you might want to revise your price a bit. These can be bought new for £650.

I can only imagine you've paid Engine Tuner a premium to stand over it or something. The Mamba ones I suppose could already be considered "fakes" or copies more accurately of the genuine jobs. Wouldn't put me off using one in the slightest though! I'm looking at a TD06-20G or similar myself, Kinugawa or Mamba. Haven't decided yet. They're all on eBay mate.

Thanks for the help guys, will just have to except less then (gulp)
What would be a fair price being 6 months old and very low miles then? Obviously comes with everything to fit, oil feed pipe etc.

If it was me selling it I'd expect it would be about £400 or so.

In fact, I'll make you an offer of £400 for it. I'm looking for a turbo as I said.

That's not quite true though is it, as by the time you add duty and taxes it's double that....

Fair point, I hadn't considered that. It certainly isn't anywhere near double the cost though.

You're not getting change out of 900quid all said and done if you import it yourself.

Plus adding a mark up to it for buying it from a reputable tuner over here who have relations with the manufacturer should there be an issue it's easy to look at the headline price but it's not the whole story

I had considered he'd paid the supplier/fitter to stand over the turbo and so on, I said that in an earlier post too.

I had a look on the Pitney Bowes site for import duties and it works out at £797 to the door, that's if it even gets stopped by customs in the first place. The markup the man paid to engine tuner is a bit of a ***** really, he's paid top money for the thing and it's fully understandable he's looking to recoup a fair bit of it. The fact remains though that a new one isn't far away from what he originally was looking and I doubt the Engine Tuner warranty will transfer to the new owner if there is one.

Thanks for all the input guys, making a bit of sense now, think i will advertise it properly for £600 and see how it goes, it's all in the original box with all the nessasary paperwork.
Thanks again.
