Turbo went out. Any ideas?
Driving up a hill and I was boosting fine then all of a sudden boost guage went to 0
and it sounded like the turbo went out (about half way). So now what can i do to get it going again ? Its a 15g turbo. Do people rebuild those or can I replace it with something else? No one seems to want to get ride of one. Just trying to figure out my cheapest options. Thanks.

have a smetal shop either roll a lip around the edge of your charge pipes or weld a bead around. That'll keep the couplers from letting go. Also use T-Bolt clamps instead of regular hose clamps to hold everything together. Doing that you should never have a blown off charge pipe again.
