    Probably better off searching on turbo refurb or turbo rebuild, thee are a few threads on here discussing the merits of DIY or pro rebuild there should be links to rebuild kits in the threads.

    Matt, do you mean the silicone seal tings for the turbo outlets? Or which seal is meant?

    You cn source your parts through Amayama.com - I use them regularly and they offer a great service!

    Looks like it for now. Not sure what the 'revamp' of their parts site involves - whether that part of the business is separating or someone else is taking it on. I assume that if they were knocking it on the head, then they probably would have said so.

    Last time I spoke to him he was doing a full stock check and had a company designing a new site for parts, however I didn't get a date for when it would be up again.

    You mean the banjo bolt seals? Ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140pcs-Ass...-/270850609116
    @Davezj - you made a tutorial yourself on how to get rid of turbo oil leaks if my memory serves me right.
    The more you know, the faster you can go. And I still don't know enough.

    Turbo seals

    This is the issue we have to be very clear about what seals we are talking about.
    When I talk about turbo seals I only mean the oil seals inside the turbo that stop the oil leaking out from the turbo shaft itself into either compressor side of the turbo or the exhaust side of the turbo.
    There are copper washer seals on the oil feed to the turbo (banjo bolt) and there is an oil seal on the oil return pipe that comes from the bottom of the turbo and goes back to the block. All of which can leak.
    But if it is not specified then no real help can be given
