He put the impetus of failure on either the rebuilder or other car problems (like too much crankcase pressure).
He does balance every turbo that leaves his shop. 1 year non-racing warranty, he says he'll know.

I got the turbocharger out ot the FD yesterday, and there was a lot of oil in the air ducts. The seals were leaking very badly. I now have to decide my next plan of attack. I may get a kit and rebuild it myself, or I may have shop do it. You all have given me some good points, and recomendations on a rebuilder. Another I noticed that the vacuum hoses were very brittle and should be replaced. What do you think is the best type, and a good place to get them. I guess they take 4mm and 6mm size. I will probably replace as many as i can possibly reach without tearing any more off the engine. To get the turbo out I had to remove a lot of items. Tough to do with the engine in the car. Well anyways this is where I am at the moment, I am not going to rush it, as I don't need it for daily transportation. Thanks for your response.

Look under "vacuum hose" in the links here:

I suggest you get a kit of good quality silicone. There is some less durable silicone out there - at the moment I suggest baker precision or hightempsilicone.com

The reason I'm reading this thread is because I think my second turbo just let go.
I will have to wait till tomorrow to know for sure, but the car wouldn't crank. I took out the rear plug and it was wet with oil and gas. I then got her started. She smoked alot and started sizzling near the sec turbo.
These were my original turbos that I had rebuilt 113,000 miles ago by Don's turbo service in Oregon. I will call him next week to talk about another rebuild. He said he uses Viton oil seals and gets the balancing down to Zero @ 1 inch from center. His exact words were they will be better than Hitachi could ever do. I can't complain I got perfect 10-8-10 boost for 110,000 miles.
