Well, I bought a hybrid turbo from a member a while back. I received it, and there was a lot of shaft play. When I installed it and took her for a short spin, I noticed an oil leak coming from the turbo. At first I thought it was my fault from not tightening down the oil lines enough, but then I noticed oil coming from where the TID bolts on! I took the TID off and a gush of oil came out from the inlet. There was oil all the way in my intercooler and tb even. So I deemed the turbo blown. Sent it back to the member, and he won't help me out whatsoever, so now I'm gonna be stuck with a blown turbo.

What I'm wondering is where I should either send it to be rebuilt or is there any place that I can get a rebuild kit to do it myself. If I do it myself, do I need to have it balanced? where could that be done?

Thanks,
Aaron

 

oh it is a hybrid with to4 compressor wheel and housing if that helps at all.

 

it shouldnt cost that much to fix it. just call around and somone can fix it for pretty cheap. try turbonetics.
