Looking for a stock turbo

So since no one checks the WTB section I am going to post this here in hopes of better results.

I am looking for a stock turbo off an R56 MCS so I can ship it out to have it turned into a hybrid. DOESNT NEED TO BE WORKING CAN BE BLOWN OR BAD. JUST NEED HOUSINGS.

If someone has one please feel free to pm me information.

Checked any of the local wrecking yards, or the online parts recyclers?

Wow, I think that I may have exactly what you want. My rebuilder got hit in the front, and the Turbo took a little damage. The center casting is broken where the bolts that hold on the compressor housing are. I looked over the compressor turbine and can't see any damage. The bearings still feel fairly smooth, ant turn well. think that they can be welded, as I still have the pieces. I have done a little research into rebuilding it, but haven't run into anything useful. Honestly thought that no one would want it.

I swapped mine out at about 36K miles. It's just sitting around in the garage with some other replaced parts. It was working fine when I pulled it. If you can't use any of the others listed here, PM me.
