Thoughts a specs on HKS GT2540

[JuMPiiN]

A local guy is selling one for a really good price. Anyone on here every run this turbo ? Just wondering if there's clearance issues on a bottom mount manifold with the steering knuckles. If the clearance is fine imma pick it up this weekend. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have the HKS GT2530 and I have no clearance issues at all.

Is it responsive ?

Very responsive. Def a good quick spooling turbo. I wouldnt expect more than 325 at MOST from it though. But def a quick spooler but doesn't carry through all the way in the high end like a GT2871r etc for obvious reasons.

i used to have this turbo too. car moved real fast at 18psi

Worth 700 bucks ? Lol

if there is no excessive shaft play or anything i'd say $700 is a pretty good deal, esp considering that used t2871s go for $900ish

It's a GT2876R with a different compressor cover. It will do about 350-400 rwhp.

Response is similar to a GT2871R - just a hair slower. Just search for GT2876R experiences, should tell you everything. This is not a new turbo by any stretch.
