Default Picked up a greddy turbo car. YaY!

I scored a Greddy Turbo! Now we have to decide whether to put it on my brothers roommates car or sell it $$$$. My car is turbo'ed. My brothers car is SC.
I'm kinda thinking $$$$$. How much do you think I could get for it. It is a basic greddy kit, complete with fpr and MSD box.

It came on a car we bought. I think I can make more on the car if I sell the turbo separate. The car is super clean, but needs a paint job. It is lowered and has a great stance. The spoiler is a nice one. I may take the spoiler off too.

The delima is, is the motor blown or is it ok. We picked it up out of a junk yard. This car had no business in a Junk Yard! I was so happy. The body is straight and the interior clean. The guy said he picked it up at a impound sell. The injectors where missing. But otherwise, it is pretty complete.

I tried to get my brother to go turbo, and give the s/c to his roommate.
He thinks he will have to work on tuning the turbo. He doesn't realize that the same FPR setup running his S/C is going to run the turbo. Oh well, you can lead a horse to water. But you can't make him drink.

Hey, I may be interested if the price is right.

How does everything look on the turbo?
Let me know if theres any shaft play.
And the condition of the manifold.
