Looks like this has been converted to a front entry 16G by looking at the weld?

Not very well converted tbh. The new FE spigot is a bit short, looks rough on the inside and appears to have no tapering/airflowing, just a square shoulder.

The wastegate actuator inlet looks quite badly bent too. It may have no play but to be honest it doesn't look in good enough nick to justify the sort of money you have in mind for it. In need of a bit of fettling if the pics are any guide.

Cosmetically it might not be brilliant, but I've mapped turbos converted just like this and they have worked perfectly. I prefer the shorter inlet anyway as they fit a little easier!

More importantly the exhaust housing doesn't look in bad shape, and that's he hardest part to replace!

Thank you very much, it does run great! Its good to hear something positive lol. Just recieved a bid on ebay so looks like its sold anyway .

By the way i agree, these turbo's are an excellent basic upgrade and looks arn't everything!! people on here should know that.

Thanks again.
