turbo seals & rebuild

[jpnvr4]

well 4 about 2 weeks I've noticed a light coloured smoke coming from my exhaust .... check it 2nite hopin in wasn't p/ring goin bad ... turns out there's a lil oil in the intercooler pipe from the rear turbo ....

My questions are
1.where can I get a rebuild?
2. is it better 2 get someones used turbos?
3. Upgrade them 2 td04's ...?

it is probably easiest to keep an eye out on trademe for a pair of turbos, or hope a member here has some spare. You could also try some of the mitsi wreckers in NZ such as Kempy's, there are millions of VR-4's over here

Good second hand ones are going to be a lot cheaper than rebuilds.

And as said, a little oil is normal - don't panic until you need to!
