http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Turbo...Q5fAccessories


my turbo 2 is stock but i see oil dripping down it so im guessing it needs a rebuild or the turbo needs replacing...was trying to stay with something that will be able to work with the stock ecu and top mount intercooler....would this work or does anyone have any cheaper options?

That's a stock S5 turbo. If you have an S4 TII then you'll also need the S5 exhaust manifold in order to use it.

not worth in my opinion. you can get yours rebuilt for under $200. the rebuild kits come with new journal bearings, front and rear oil seals, and you can even upgrade to 360 degree thrust bearing

for about the same price, you can get BNR to build you a hybrid:
