Paypal have accepted the report on the turbo and its on its way back to him if he likes it or not,he should never have sold it as in good working order as it had multiple faults and is only fit for a rebuild.
Shaft play side to side top to bottom out of tolerance range, marks to the housing where impeller has contacted
Thrust bearing worn some play up and down
Two bolts cold side missing
Leaking oil seal
Two cracks hot side
Actuator bracket bent (down to terrible packaging)
Vacuum spout squashed

Im done with the classifieds now unless its local and I can check the goods out,peaved off with buying sh!te!

People are dicks these days. I bought a kart engine last year that was meant to be good. Looked fine in pics too. But the chain had come off/snapped and battered the crank case. Also means over revved engine prob to 25000rpm. That will knock crank out or damage it. (2 piece crank) but all done with paypal and I got my money back. 


Always use paypal!

I hear you tweed! I used to do gift but once bitten not that long ago and since then vow to allways pay it safe.
Still not got my money back yet though,i think he's dodging paypals requests.
