Hello all, I don't post often but I have something of a dilemma right now. I just got my entire engine rebuilt and working perfectly, and just two weeks after the rebuild was done, my turbo has started smoking on me.
This is especially frustrating because I had my turbo rebuilt about a year ago but only put about 4-5k miles on it, but the shop that rebuilt it told me it had "only a three month warranty" so I'm out of luck. This does make me worry that maybe the turbo has something like a cracked exhaust housing causing the burn, so even brand-new seals wouldn't fix it, making it "unrebuildable".
So what do you guys recommend for a sure-fire way to get a good, dependable turbo that I can DD without breaking the bank? Obviously a local solution would be preferred, I'm in Minnesota. Thanks for the advice!
