i've never seen one like this before, where did you get it from? dont know about fitting it, may cause more harm then good?
 
your best bet is asking bill(badger5), he will be able to point you in the right direction as to what it is etc.
 
Very weird. Maybe its a hybrid?!lol

Strange that all the blades are swooping the same way. Id want to know what car it came off and its milage. And like Reuvers said, does it spin fine without touching the sides?
 
The blades look like they have been rubbing on the housing. Is there much play in the shaft? I would get your money back.
 
where did you get it do u no much history from where it came from the internals look like some kind of custom job. Although by the look of the blades they look like they seen some high temperatures. Will have a look online when i get a bit of time see if i cant find out anything i have seen curved blades before but not on these been on big turbo's to affect spool up time etc...get's very complex...lol...
 
lucky, not all would have di you ask the questions then?

yeh well i asked him all the questions and sent a link to this thread, guy seems decent, also ive done it via paypal so would win in a dispute as item wasnt as described, where the original tip sits on the end he says he never checked, its the first thing i did when i recieved it lol took it off expecting to see it how it would normally appear and found this! gutted :lol:
oh well im looking to buy a tt now anyway, car is for sale :)
