I have a TD04 14G turbo and it's spitting oil out of the compressor housing and exhaust housing (I assume it's spitting it out of the exhaust due to a lot of smoke.)

I cold probably send it away to be rebuilt, but it's not cost effecient due to the cost of the rebuild and the value of the turbo, so I want to rebuild it myself.

Does that kit include all of the things I would need to rebuild the turbo?

It seems pretty straight forward and I'd probably mark everything to keep it as balanced as possible on reassembly.

I know it's not a "great" idea to rebuild it myself, but I'll be upgrading to a bigger turbo soon and I just want this one to run well for the little bit longer I'll have it, and so it'll run well for my friend that's buying it from me.

Bump. I don't really know who I could ask if this was a good kit or not.

Man, nobody knows?

 

The kit is probably fine, but once you rip it open and replace things your going to then it needs to be rebalanced.

 

Hmm, I'll have to talk to the guy that owns a local shop and see if he could balance it fairly cheap.

I'm most worried about getting the oil leaks fixed. I might just get it and try it for the hell of it.

I'll be replacing the turbo soon, anyways.
