turbo rebuild kit
where could i find a rebuild kit for my turbos and about how much does that kind of thing run? i've noticed that i do have a little oil spray in my IC pipes. i'm pretty sure its just a tiny leak for the time being and no need to get all worried... if it is just a leak, its just a matter of replacing seals, gaskets, and whatnot corret? (i.e. no machining or any metal work)

Thanks... i'd been looking for a few days now and no one seemed to have it... they were all MORE than happy to take $1500 from me, plus my old ones so they could rip someone else off

Some oil in the intake trac is normal.
As for oil on the intake, doesn't really mean the turbos are bad. A HUGE misconception in the 3rd gen community is the amount of oil in the intake tract determines how close you are to a blown set of turbos. Not true, mostly, most people forget that the 93, and 94's have a PCV system. Positive Crankcase Ventilation system, which succinctly means when the boost fills the crankcase to a predetermined limit the air and oil must go somewhere. There are a series of hoses coming off the manifold to the oil filler neck and one comes down strait below the hose going to the manifold(which contains a black and grey checkvalve, this is the pcv valve)this hose goes under the alternator and down to the pipe cluster that goes behind the air pump. There are 2 hoses that come up off of the primary turbo inlet that attach to these pipes. Since the turbo inlet side is sucking air, this is the source for vacuum for the vacuum chamber(helps control the charge control valve and transition) and the other hose is the "dump" for this PCV system. Now, the harder you drive the car and are on and off boost, the more the pcv system will be active and "dumping" oil into the inlet side of the primary turbo, and if the oil is dumped into the incoming air, then logically it, since it is liquid and cannot be compressed(right) it just coats the intake piping and leads one to believe the turbos are going bad! Class dismissed.
