Overhaul or replace the turbo?
Using oil at about 1l/1000k.
Looks like the turbo seals are gone/going.
So what is the best thing to do to fix it?
In Brisbane.
Get it overhauled? But my mechanic reckons not many reliable people in Brisy anymore to do the overhaul?
replace it? Where to get one and how much?
Can you get a cartridge replacement, i.e. just the internals, and how reliable would it be?
Is it worthwhile getting the same turbo but with a different set of vanes for quicker spool up? Usually drive in the 1800 to 2800 rpm range anyway.
Rest of engine is good, just been overhauled.
Done 330,000k from new, original turbo.
Any comments appreciated.
