The one I have [had] was a used '91 stock single stage, so that would be the easiest replacement. What's you're price, Rusty? Direct email is sladerj at bellsouth dot net. >Do you think that the turbo was about to go anyway? Probably. There was defintely some play in the bearings. >or is it just not the right turbo for our application? Depends what you want it to do for you. I think it should stand my planned usage. >Were you running a wastegate? I had it closed with the manual push/pull cable. >What MAP were you running when the turbo blew? just under 50 inches - maybe 8 - 10psi of boost >Rusty’s turbo is the same as yours, do you plan to replace it with an Identical turbo? Yes. I think so. This time I'd like to have one thats in good shape to start with. >Todd and I (and Mecanair and perhaps some others) are also running that turbo. I don't think there's any problem with the stock turbo running at reasonable boost speeds. If a rebuilt one lets go, then I'll upgrade. John
