WTB: OEM Turbos w/o oil leak/wg rattle

troy2003 · 10-25-2014, 04:58 PM

Looking for OEM turbos with no oil seal leak/wg rattle. Only 57k on my car and I'm smoking really bad. Pulling catless dp's soon to clear up speculation but I'm pretty certain my oil seals are leaking. The lower mileage the better.

Dealer said they would sell em 600 new a peice with 2 year warranty. Not bad if you looking for new ones. They also said they don't care who installs em, if they go bad just bring car in and they will see if they are defective and replace em.

that sucks to hear. If you need any help let me know. I can call my auto-dismantlers and see if they have anything available. What are you looking to spend?

Personally I wouldn't put stock turbo's back on.

I'd do Vargas Stage 1 or used RB turbo's if I were going through the trouble & on a budget.

I thought about that idea, but then also realized new oem turbos could be had for 1200. Is there any research or usage history showing the reliability of Vargas or RB's, I know the wg gets upgrades but how do the seals hold up?. I have come from the ricer world so I'm still churching myself up on a lot of the BMW options.
