Well, this morning was a bad one. I was getting on the on ramp to the highway and saw a large puff of blue smoke comin from behind the car.. Heres what happened (pics). I am looking to rebuild this for the time being as money is tight. Anyone know where I can get a rebuild kit for the stock GT25?

but he is slow and if you are using the car for a DD then you might just want to go on up to a tater.

he said it takes 2-3 weeks...and he p&p's the down-pipe...so you get more efficient air flow out.

How does MPNick re build them then ? I feel like I'm missing something

That link isn't applicable to the MSP's turbo. With ball bearing and dual BB turbos, you have to replace the entire center housing. The bearings are not serviceable.
