Default Did I hit the jackpot?

I've found an ad on Craigslist with a whole lot of 1jz and 2jz for sale. While I'd like to turbo sometime in the future, I'm more concerned with throwing the W58 into the car first.

Anyway, here's everything the guy is selling and it seems like a steal to me.

"PARTS FOR 1JZ-GTE @ 68k miles:

CT12A TURBOS (TWIN TURBO)WITH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS, INTAKE SIDE FOR TURBO ALONG WITH ALL HARDWARE-----$300

Map sensor -----$50

380cc 6x Stock injectors with fuel rail (High Impendence)-----$75

Intake manifold with throttle(Automactic transmission only)----$75

IAC (IDEL AIR CONTROL VALVE) -----$100

Alternator FOR 1JZ-----$75

TPS (Throttle Position Sensor)-----$75

Engine ECU (2 row pin. Model from JDM Supra Manual Tranny)-----$225

Engine ECU (3 row pin. Model from Chaser and other 1jzgte)-----$175

Knock Sensor-----$50

Front oil pan set-----$200

Torque Converter-----$75

Flywheel. Gears in great condition (for Torque converter)-----$35



PARTS FOR SC300 2JZGE @ 132k miles:

Charcal Canister-----$20

Fuel Pump ECU-----$75

Engine ECU-----$100

2x Cam Shafts with cam gears-----$75

Cylinder Head-----$100

Intake manifold with throttle-----$40

Exhaust manifold-----$40

W58 manual transmission-----$250

Flywheel-----$25

AC compressor with clutch-----$50

Power steering pump with pully-----$50

Distributor Assembly-----$50

Valve cover-----$20

MAF sensor assembly-----$50

6x Injectors and rail-----$50

Ignitor-----$20"

Obviously the W58 and flywheel are a steal and will save me a lot of time and money.

But now I ask, are the turbos worth the 300 bucks with 68k miles on them?

I only have a day to jump on this opportunity so all feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I've read enough posters who say that the W58 can handle 300-500 HP, so I'm not concerned about that. I'm just kind of worried about the 130k miles on the transmission.

I guess there's that guy outside of Austin who can rebuild it for about 500 if need be...

Would any of you grab the W58 for $250?

For $250 you can pick up a used TH400 and handle much much more than the w58 will.
