I messed up my turbo rebuild...are turbo kit parts sold separatly?
I messed up the front "seal" that sits pressed into the aluminum housing behind the compressor wheel... the part that the compressor housing bolts too. I am not exactly sure what it does, but it is a little spring loaded "seal" however it is a steel case that houses a VERY VERY brittle little black spring loaded seal (thing).
Does anyone know if i can buy that peice individually anywere? Turbocity dosnt have too much on their website just the full kits. Anyone?
Also, how are you supposed to instal that>? i used a socket that sat around the outer edge and tapped it in with a rubber mallet. It went in but as i say i shattered the spring loaded black peice. Thanks in advance
Crap.
88 S4 TII completely stock turbo, btw.
thanks,

I don't think it's available from Mazda actually. If you look at the parts catalog the turbo is listed as one separate unit. There are no part #s for the individual components of the turbo, as a dealership would simply replace the whole thing. You will have to source an aftermarket solution.

Sounds like the CARBON seal. Carbon be like.....brittle. I think your out some big bucks and are going to have to buy another rebuild kit. That's a GUESS. I know little to nothing about turbos.

Yep, it's the carbon seal.
No, I don't think Mazdatrix would carry just the seal...or any itty-bitty turbo parts.
ANY turbo rebuild shop can get it for you.
It's all Garrett T3 / T4 turbo parts.
