Hey guys i recently had a very good friend pass away, his family asked me to try and find out what these specifically are and what the approximate worth would be. he left behind bills approaching the 5 figures if i understand correctly. :'(

im not sure but i think he might have been building one for a miata

if one of them is a nice upgrade over the stock '08 mitsu evo X gsr big 16g(?) maybe i'll throw it on mine, im sure he would have liked that.

anyways any help would be amazing

Turbo 1 is a Garrett T04E/T3 turbo, probably a/r .48 turbine housing and stage 1 turbine wheel. You'll have to take the compressor housing off so you can measure the compressor wheel inducer so you can correctly identify what it is.

$300-$500

Turbo II is a eBay special. $80-$120.

Was going to say the same on turbo two.
Looks close to what I bought on sr20 fwd. Thing spooled up nicely tho.

Sorry for your loss :(

Manifold: $50-$75
No-name turbo-charger: $100-$150
Garret turbo-charger: $200-$300

All depends on your local market and condition of the turbos.

Looks like a two turbos and a manifold for a Miata... do you have a buyer yet?

Edit: ah, I see in the OP that it was for a Miata, I might be interested in buying some/all of them.

Worth nothing. Send them to JLee or myself and we will dispose of them properly for you free of charge.

I'm confused.

Turbo #1 clearly says Garrett on the housing, but there's no model number on the green tag. The part number 466334-9006 comes back to a Garrett ~$700.00 John Deere diesel tractor turbocharger.

Turbo #2 clearly says it's a T04E T3/T4-1, which is a Garrett model number. Is it a copy?
