Yeah, I figured as much.  It's just the lure of Ebay, the limited-ness of the offer, that caught
my eye.

Why does the inducer(?) look like that on the cold side?  It looks like there is a concentric
ring around the smaller one.  I don't understand what that is about.  I would like to learn
more about turbo "parts", such as what comprises the center section versus the compressor
and so forth.  I guess I could take one apart to check it out.

That turbo you describe sounds real nice.  Someday I'll be in the market for something like
that I think.

Thanks,

Ken
