Do I need a turbo rebuild if the low mileage twin turbos stored 6 yrs in ATF fluid?
I plan to replacethe engine soon. The orignal twins have 94K on them. I have low mileage (10K) twin that I bought six years ago and stored in a container with ATF fluid. Do I need to rebuild this mothballed turbos? And does rebuild in this case just means replacing any rubber seals in the turbos as opposed to a complete rebuild?

I think you'll be alright but that thing is going to smoke like a **** for hours burning all the atf off
When I swapped motors I had to retap a few holes in the exhaust manifold and used copious amounts of machine oil in doing so. That sucker smoked for 30 mins at idle before it finally burnt off. I could only imagine what the turbos would do...
