Anybody know what the difference is?

 

Are you thinking ht3b vs bht3b? The one with the extra 'b' has map slots.

 

no this is an H3B not bht3b or ht3b. I ran the part number in a turbo cross reference and it is a holset H3B. Part number 3533098. Application is listed as Iveco or Volvo engine models 8210SRI - 8210.SRI21 - TAD 1230G. It retails for over $1700 and I found one minus the exhaust housing for much less. Specs are: 74mm compressor housing, no shaft play in any direction and no fin damage. Price $78.00. I need some input quick!

 

there looks to be fin damage on the second pic...

 

You would be better of buying the HT60 IMO from that guy, if this turbo checks out (wheels, seals) then it would probably cost a pretty penny to buy a turbine housing for it.

 

That turbine does not look healthy. I would not suggest Mr. Lopez purchase pictured turbo.

 

Mr. Lopez?

 

I bought a BTH-3B for $700, rebuilt and complete. $1700 sounds pretty high, I would pass on that turbo. There is better deals than that out there, IMO.
