The turbo seal has gone on one of my turbos and is leaking oil which makes some excess smoke come out of the exhaust. So I was going to replace them probably with standard ones as I cant afford upgrades at the moment, but what else would I need when replacing them?

 

Do I need some gasket kit etc?

 

Thanks

If you go to Turbo Dynamics they'll do you a uprated turbo on a part exchange basis. The New "well reworked turbos" will come complete with all the gaskets needed to replace them. If your just looking at a stage 1 or 2 hybrid they'll proberbly cost about £450 each. Or go the hole hog and exchange against a new set of Garret T25 or T28 ball bearing tubs. That'll cost you about £2K. Other than that their are places like http://www.amzperformance.com or http://www.z1motorsport.com and http://www.jwtperformance.com Remember though to find out how much shipping is going to cost, and what import tax will be before you get carried away.

Thanks Mark, I was going to get 2 brand new standard turbos from http://www.conceptzperformance.com/, but you've given me some more options now.

 

I am though, only looking at spending up to 1.5K though and would prefer brand new so will probably at that price have to go for standard turbos, but I shall check out these other companies as well.

 

Thanks

You definitely sure it's one of the turbos?

Yeah I took the car to Paul at SWZ for a service and asked him about excess smoke out the exhausts and he confirmed that one of the turbos had a seal that was leaking, therefore causing smoke to come out when its been idling for a while.
