if you already have a turbo kit and just need a replacement turbo, that should be a good deal, but if you plan to buy that, have it rebuilt, and then build a whole kit around it, i would have to ask if thats worth the time and effort.

why do you think you need a spare turbo?
the banks turbo on my 88 has 492,000 miles on it and is still tight.

I think that the ATS Aurora 2000 is a better deal, cheaper, just as good as the Banks Sidewinder.
