    I can't believe they hadn't sold them for scrap weight yet. The SO's old employer used to fill maybe two of those cages a month with bad housings and center sections. Those big blowers look like Detroits, and a lot of times those gigantor turbos come off diesel powered generator units.

    We had a guy at a local recycler that would send us the HX35s they'd get from Cummins that were "damaged" or used in R&D. We got several that still had the plastic caps on and had nothing wrong with them. I think we paid 50 bucks for maybe 20 of them, several still new and unused...22lb. wastegates still attached. Seemed like a shame to let them get smashed n all...
