Hey guys, one more quick question on a turbo for my 4.3 liter diesel Jeep project...

I found a turbo on Craigslist that I think might work well and wanted and opinion from the two of you.

It is a T3/T4 hybrid. The hot side is stamped AR .63 and has a standard T3 mount, a standard 5 bolt wastegate assembly, and a 2-bolt output flange setup similar to the 3 bolt setup on the stock Garrett on our OM617s.
The compressor side is stamped M11 AR .60. The inlet and outlet have removable 2-bolt flanges, and the open end of the output flange is about 2-1/2"-3", but without the flange the outlet opening is only about 2". The inlet, with the removable flange taken off is only about 1-1/2" diameter, but with the flange bolted in place the inlet opening is around 2" diameter.

How would this work for the 4.3 liter diesel? The shaft has almost no play in any direction, it spins smoothly, and the leading edges of the compressor blades look good, with only a tiny amount of erosion. The kid selling it only wants $85 and it is 100% complete except for the wastegate pressure pot/acuator. What do you think?
