Upgraded the seals and thrust bearing as well. I'm only boosting to 10psi using the shimmed wastegate mod. Seems to take a bit longer to spool up but it seems to me that it pulls harder now. Still hit fuel cut on long WOT passing in 40 degree morning temperatures so I guess next upgrades will be wideband, fuel pump & AFPR.

> Someone asked me about a rebuilt turbo. I lost the e-mail. I don't recomend buying a rebuild.  The one that I got back is already out and I'm boosting at about 1.3lbs max. Sucks! I bought a 87 honda civic CRX to drive around while I pull the exaust and the turbo off. Probably pull the intercooler off too and let that drain, then replace sparkplugs since my NGKs are now fouled. Kinda bitter... I'm going to go all new on that side of the motor this time. I'm tired of doing a turbo job every 6 months. Anyways... sorry I took so long to reply. Had some issues... seems Road Runner doesn't allow forwarding through a different smtp server.
