went to the long beach swap meet this weekend and a dude had a gale banks twin turbo setup complete with the manifolds, risers, turbos, intercooler, piping, carb and scoop.  at first glance i noticed a LOT of white dust and general corrosion inside of the manifolds.  im guessing they had a leak somewhere and they just ran it like that.  couldve been the manifolds themselves, couldve been the passage from the manifold to riser, riser to turbo, etc... who knows.  i didnt have any way to test them.  anyways i ask the dude what he wanted and he spouted out "$1k"... i was pretty interested but the corrosion and possible leaks made me think twice.  As I said thanks and walked away he started yelling out $800, $750... my guess is that he doesnt really know what he has and trying to offload it quickly.  All I know is that these full kits are rare and usually worth some decent coin. 

Maybe next week he'll be there again and I can look into it more... looking back i didnt get his contact info.  DOH!

everything looked the same as this setup:

Well if you show up next week, you will be the only one there. You're gonna have to wait until next moth and take a chance. I also looked at it. It seemed to be fairly complete. Just didn't have that kind of scratch on me.
