: New GM-4 or used GM-8 turbo?

I am putting a brand new factory GM 6.5 in my 94 GMC. Everthing that attaches to the engine will be new except for the injection pump which was factory replaced 10k ago.

I can buy a new in box factory GM-4 turbo for $600 on ebay, good price, or I can buy a used, approx 20k, GM-8 turbo for $200.

My questions are, What are the differences between the GM-4 and 8 turbo, Are there any improvements in the 8? Is the GM-8 a direct replacement for the GM-4? The GM parts guy says the 4 is only for 94 & 95 engines. Will it void my new engine warranty if I put the 8 on it?

I appreciate any info you can offer.

There was one a while back in "ForSale". Heres the thread. http://dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=28991&highlight=turbo

It may be the one on Ebay youre looking at.
