This is a brand new VNT25 Turbo. I bought it with intent to use it on my newest project, but now plans are elsewhere(NA instead of turbo for class reasons). SOOOO this turbo is up for sale. If you havent heard of a VNT turbo here is an article about it.

I would like to get what I paid, which is $500 plus shipping.

Interesting turbo design. Corky Bell mentions the VNT (variable nozzle turbine) design a few times in "Maximum Boost" and I figure thats why he used the Aerocharger in his first miata turbo kit. I wonder why this design seems to have fallen by the wayside? I would guess that with the recent thrust to use turbochargers in OEM cars and all the Aftermarket use of them as well, we may see a new surge in engeneering ways to boost on demand as opposed to good ol displacement. I hope so.

yes, but the way they implemented it is different than what had been done in the past. previously people had put the two turbos inline so that one blew through the other, which means once your small turbo is out of it's efficiency range you are still running the **** out of it.
BMW is running the turbos parallel with electronically controlled valves on both the turbines (WG) and the compressors so that once the small turbo starts to run out of air it is effectively cut off from the system and the large one takes over. Their system allows for tuning of the crossover point so it is seemless and feels like a larger engine instead of one relying on snails.
I've driven one of the 535D turbo diesels with this setup and I have to tell you it was impressive as hell.
edit* the waste gate on the small turbo is actually a valve not a wastegate... it kills the exhaust flow pre-turbo and routes it all to the larger turbo. I have a system schematic of this somewhere. I'll post it if/when I find it.
