Looking for a rebuild-able core. Something reasonably priced. Mine has suddenly decided to start lubricating the exhaust.
Ideal candidate would just need to be resealed. Mine has a tube that connects to the oil return. Like this:
It also has the trapezoidal flange like this:
Any help is greatly appreciated.
whats wrong with re-building the one you have currently?
prolly just needs seals, the bearings, and wheels are likely fine..
The Turbo rebuilder in Ohio has a one day turn around on most turbos. So shipping both ways, it would be down less than a week. Plus I have seen several turbos he rebuilt and they are perfect. Just an idea.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have sourced a core. Looks like I'll be sending it to Ohio when I get it. If I had another car to drive for the time being, it wouldn't be such an issue but the truck is at the body shop. Never hurts to have a spare laying around anyway. I think I can deal with the ridiculous oil consumption for a few more days.

Want to sell me your current failing turbo?

Maybe, unless the engine runs away...

The oil is leaking past the seals into the exhaust. Not the intake. I checked it. So should be safe. New k14 on the way
