is this turbo any good?

[richard cash]

ive ene offered a turo from someone for £100 asmy GT40 has melted. THis is all the info ive got:

3" inlet and exhaust
1.15 A/R
0.6 compressor
Some V thingy thats good to have on turbos used in RX7\'s.

The turbo is a turbo XS one and the guy said its good for 600HP on a rx7 but i cant see how thats possible with a 3" inlet, all the big powered turos ive seen are 4" minimum. Also, they are only £200 new or so from the states so seems like a cheap make but they have garrett internals in them. YOur help would be appreciated

cheers
