I'm pretty sure the seals are blown on my Greddy T78, all the major symptoms are there. lots of smoke when idleing or as soon as i let off the gas, but fine when accelerating or just holding constant throttle.

Do I need a full rebuild, or can I just do the seals if the rest of the turbo is alright.

If its just the seals is this something thats easily done or should i send it out.

And if it has to be sent out, is there anyone with a good rep in the upstate NY area?

Thanks for any input.

 

While you are replacing the seals, you should also replace the bearings and other internals in the turbo. It only makes sense to do so.

 

I agree with carbonr1, its like you are having a general overhaul replace all parts that you can access for the better of it.
