Anybody ever replace their own turbo seal? I'm puffing smoke at idle and when I pulled my DP, after warming up, i'm seeing oil seeping on the exhaust side... Pretty sure that's all that's wrong, as the turbo still spools fine and pulls like mad...just embarrassing as hell at red lights...

Turbo is a Precision TE62 (old school, I know)...

one huge piece of advise... some turbine shafts are reverse threaded... check yours before taking it apart....

otherwise very easy

Pick up another on the forum for $100, or send it off to driftmotion for a 57trim upgrade/rebuild.

I decided to send it in... I went with PTE (Precision Turbo and Engine).... Thx for the help... Now I can quit looking like a retard puffing smoke at red lights....

Update for anyone who GAF: Got a call from PTE yesterday, looks like the oil pickup sent some garbage through the turbo... I ended up giving them the old turbo as a core and they gave me $400 off on a new PTE 6262... should have it next week.... niiice.....
