    Think you're best getting a genuine one then getting it re-coned and balanced so you know it's good, I don't trust those Chinese eBay ones for some reason??

    I have found a new turbo but am not sure it will work with my s60t5, the turbo is from a c70 and can be used on a 850r its a td04hl-16t 49189-01350 it has an angled flange just like mine can I use this .
