Front rotor had 1/2 cup of coolant in it.

Rear rotor was fine.

I have a wrecked parts car and the turbo on that has one small crack 1/4 inches. That turbo has less than 10K on it. So, being the cheap bastard that I am, I don't want to spend $4K (in addition to the reman) for a single turbo kit.

Not only the cost, but emission is tough here in DC. Moreover, I put only about 6K a year so I figure the next 100K will last me 15 years for the spare turbo.

Plus, I don't want to be tinkering with a bunch of parts slapped together for a turbo kit.
