Why do I still find that ---- so funny after so long, and so many times viewing it.

On the way home I stopped at the gm dealership horde to pick through a few parts, lucky enough to come home and tally up a $3000 list.
The big turbo has been sitting around for awhile, I've just avoided it until now. A couple of guys were around today getting nosey, asking the owner about truck parts, so I decided to jump on it. Looks to be a Garrett GT37VA.
This pulley was nothing special to me at first, not even when I saw 2 of them. I just randomly grabbed them, came home to check the numbers and they're NOS Corvette PS pulleys!!

The name came up one night at a bonfire with some friends, helping me brain storm a name to use and this was the one we settled on. At first I was reluctant to use it, but now people are starting to know me as "Joey ebay". lol

If that's the same as a duramax than you're spot on!
I'm not 100% sure myself, still need to do more research. Quickest thing I can find on it is whatever the p/n brings up.

(goes outside to check turbo on Duramax truck in driveway)
Well now, don't I feel stupid, lol.
I saw the rear pedestal style flange and assumed wrongly. Carry $$60,000,000,000 man.

The one on my TDI (vnt-15) has what looks like a standard waste-gate diaphragm connected to the vanes. Its spring loaded so that min. boost is 0psig, and if you apply a vacuum it increases the restrictiveness for boost so its fail safe for the turbo. But a diesel has a vacuum pump for the control solenoids.

Those are all from different clients too.
The lady with the parisian flower cart was my last landlord and has a house and barn FULL of antiques from around the world. The husband was a big wig for some bank years and years ago. ------- crazy money.
