Holly crap I can't beleive this after Turbo Kraut kept bring up that they look like ebay turbos I went on ebay and yes, they look very very similar. So if some one is still interested in them just make me an offer. I'm going to question my wife more on this issue, but thanks for the heads up Turbo Kraut

Sorry to hear that you are stuck with them.
Since there is no telling WHAT you got, you fall into the - nicely pointed - 'aftermarket manufacturer' crowd, commonly known as 'ebay china turbo'.

Unfortunately, there is really not much more differentiation in this group (even so there certainly are some decent non OEM turbo COMPONENTS to be had). Wheels and cartridges parts can be checked (and they range from 'might work' to 'won't work at all'; but even there are uncertainties like material used (turbine wheel!).

The turbine housing is a crap shoot (and even OEM high quality castings sometimes have imperfections).

Long story: with your sale, you may just be competing with all those ebay china turbos out there, and they go really low prices.

You don't want to put these in your car. I have them as display in my house at the moment.
