WTBorrow/Buy: Saab T3 turbine housing or equivalent

I'm going to have BEGi make a nice new downpipe for me soon and need a spare turbine (exhaust) housing from a saab t3. It's a .48 AR, 5 bolt outlet, internal gate. If anyone has one lying around they can part with cheap, or let me borrow for about a month, it would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to spend more than $25-30 shipped. If it's in stellar condition I might consider spending a bit more to keep it for later modification of my Chrysler turbo.

I want to ship it to BEGi in about 2 weeks. That's when they'll catch up enough from the holidays to get to mine. They are busy bees these days

They have my T3 housing right now. Get them to jig that bitch up or something cause I want my downpipe shipped out soon including the manifold and turbine housing i sent them.They could make a simple jig with a the inlet flange and outlet flange with the appropriate sized piece of angle iron. Then no one would ever have to ship in another garrett T3 housing.

I just emailed stephanie asking if they could/would jig my turbine housing. We'll see.

I have a Volvo Garrett T3 if it helps you any. It's not for sale, but you're welcome to use it for your evil needs.

It's just a standard 5 bolt off a 50 trim, it's a .48 housing(not that it matters). I 'm using their new direct pulse t3 mani. They're modifying the mani for external gate for me though and building my downpipe while they have it all. Should be started on fab soon. Never know though with custom work like that. Either way, I sent steph an email about the jig setup and saying i don't mind if they use it for yours.
