Turbo, etc inspection

Captain Confused · 01-29-2021, 08:32 PM

please let me know if this in the wrong category.

Long story short, I got a bunch of N54 parts in a big parts swap. A lot of the parts are turbo related that were removed for upgraded parts. I dont have a N54 so I plan on selling the items but I dont know how to test the turbos if they are good or not. Can anyone let me know what I need to look for to ensure these are good or not?

thanks

You can probably sell them either way working or not as cores to a turbo builder like RB. I got $300 for mine when i bought new turbos. Even if they work you wont get much more than that for used stock turbos

Id be fine with 300. Id rather them go to someone who can use them.

Is RB that you mention RBTurbos?
