Default What kind of seals.... dynamic, or carbon?

My friend called me today with a t3/t4 on his scooby. I dont know the trim or specs of his turbo, except its water cooled.

Hes looking to buy a rebuild kit, and he needs to know what kind of seals his has.

Can any of you help me with this info, or do you need more?

fuel injected applications use a dynamic seal.
carbureted applications use a carbon seal.

You definetly need those dynamic seals, they have more aggressive sealing capacity than carbon seals.

I am actually the kid with the scoob, decided to sign up over here since a lot of you guys run garretts and have a good bit of experience with them.

Went ahead and found out another route your right, it is dynamic seals. Ordered the rebuild and should be able to put it back.

Thanks, and b18eg6 rules!
