    Does anyone still buy turbo cores?…..the pile has ballooned over the last several years as it seems most places are only selling new. I just hate to scrap them as most aren’t in horrible shape

    I have three if you find someone who wants them. I'd give them away.

    Two of them are original Cat B model remans, and one is a 177148 that the wastegate linkage rusted out on.

    I'll look into Area Diesel.

    Michigan Turbo in Grand Rapids buys truck and car used turbos and cores. Not sure how if it’d be worth considering shipping costs
