Turbo Rebuild

NO5-ZERO · August 14th, 2011, 06:05 PM

Hey guys new to MM and last week purchased my first SVO. 85' ether 104 or 204 thousand miles on it. I'm betting 204k. Posted a thread in the 2.3l forum and got some good information. Have been burning oil and I'm about 90% sure its the carbon seal on the turbo. I have been searching online for a good rebuild kit. What kits do you guys normally use? I have seen tons on ebay and some other sites but witch ones are worth my time and money? Thanks you for any comments.

Normally a quality rebuilt kit will be around $70-$80 on Ebay.

I bought one and tried to rebuild my original turbo and broke the turbine shaft seal ring when reassembling. FAIL big time. I just bought a new turbo and saved myself the trouble/error of breaking another kit.

Trying to save a little money at the moment. I'm not planning on pushing this car to its limits yet. I am pretty sure the turbo is a factory Airesearch, but idk witch rebuild kit will work for this turbo. So many different ones on ebay. Any particular one?
