Just buy a new one from cheapturbo.com, it will be a little more but you'll have a new turbo.
or for rebuild try
texas rebuild.

Call Turbonetics, see if they have a rebuild kit for your turbo, around $80, pretty easy to do.

I sent my T3/T04B to cheapturbo.com to rebuild. They're pretty busy, so it took them about two weeks to finish it and shipt it back. I'm getting it back on tuesday.

you can not rebuild and cange your own seals, I mean you cna, but you still need to rebalance the shafts, unless you have a 5000 RPM high speed balancer, I doubt you can get it acurate....

I'd say spend the 300 call majestic and be done with it... it has been proven. Last thing you wanna do is go cheap, spend 80 bucks and **** your turbo alltoghether

that's really true.... 80 bucks... ****...

well.. alright, then here comes the choice...

Should I:
1. Send it to Majestic Turbo and fix it?
2. Find somebody locally to fix it??

thanks guys

Definetly go with majestic turbo. I have also delt with Robert and he is a super cool person. I had the same turbo and it was $346.00 to have it rebuilt.
