The last picture in the add shows the oil inlet and outlet clocked wrong. Should face down rather then to the passenger side of the car (USDM cars). Can be a bitch to get the center section to turn in the exhaust housing. Use a torch to heat up the exhaust housing and itll make the job much easier.

Just installed one of these on a friends car. Had to do some modification, but it looks like a nice peice. I had to clock the compressor housing, and the exhaust.

Says 5 available, is it just 5 ct's that got rebuilt by cxracing?

Ps that name alone (cxracing) TO ME brings memories of cheap parts that
don't always fit like they say. And zero customer support.

did you actually read the auction?

by "brand new", i would assume these are not rebuilt. Since a CT-26 from toyota is in excess of $2k, see my above post for where these turbos are coming from.

Hint, they're knock-offs.
