i would say yes. but i would google it to see how much it goes for online ya know. i just checked and it came up as 800-1000 dollars.....humm might be a keeper..

its all up to if you trust your friend is going to sell you it and it really has no problems. if so then you just got a good ass deal!

is it a GT28 or a GT28RS? those two little letters make a big difference.

provided it was well-rebuilt, it's a good deal regardless of RS or not. and it's a good fit for the K20. but, if this was intended for 240, i am assuming it is T25 flanged. if i'm correct in my assumption, this will limit your choices of commercially-available exhaust manifolds. as far as i know, this is all there is: http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=657
