Default New Turbonetics T3/T4 turbo for the TC for sale

Since I have not posted at least 50 posts I can not post this in the "classified" section.

Here’s the story behind me selling this brand new Turbonetics T3/T4 turbo (the one designed for the TC) I have a 2006 TC and I installed the turbo kit myself in June of 2006. It worked GREAT for 10 months but then I started seeing smoke coming from the tail pipe. After troubleshooting realized that the turbo oil seal was leaking a bit under boost. I believe that since I did not install an oil restrictor on the oil feed to the Turbo the high pressure blew out the seals.
Anyway since I could not be without a car for the time it took to send the Turbo back to Turbonetics (still under warranty) and get a replacement, I bought a new Garrett GT3076R turbo (it was a 3 week wait to buy an exact Turbonetics replacement) to get me back on the road ASAP. So I am trying to recoupe some of the cost for the new Turbo.
BTW I think with an oil restrictor this turbo should last a long time.
List $1640.00
Internet pricing $1310.00
My price $1150.00 shipped

To be honest, they wont like that.... you cant post in the classified section for a reason, and they will like it even less if you are trying to get around that..

Not trying to be mean or rude, just the rules of this site.

FYI Turbonetics does not recommend running an oil restrictor on any of their turbos. Did you contact the Support department as they may have been able to repair the unit under warranty.

FYI - You still don't have 50 posts. So you shouldn't be able to sell a damn thing.

Sorry to upset you but I was giving the Scionlife community first chance at it before I put it on Ebay. BTW I have almost 30 posts so I am not new to this site.
