Here's a couple of pics of my 2871 .64 -- unassembled as I just got the exhaust housing back from JetHot and the rest of it back from having a new center cartridge put in. My 2 cents: never buy a turbo w/ any chips on the exhaust wheels unless you're planning on having the whole center cartridge replaced. Chips = big time inefficiency. You can have the whole cartridge replaced for ~$400 so if you can scoop up that turbo for ~$500 then you've got yourself a decent deal. If you pay more than that, you may as well buy a new one...

Another good reference
