Mine has a seal starting to leak and need a new one. Thanks guys.

Leak? Why not rebuild it?!

How much is the rebuild kit. Also im pretty new to turbos and i don't know how. Also i dont plan to upgrade past a 14b so having an extra one is a good idea.

Go to gpopshop.com rebuild kit is like $60-100 depending on kit you get. You can do it yourself if you feel up to it. There are plenty of videos and walkthroughs on here and YouTube. Or go to the freelance section and hit up turbolab or whoever else does rebuilds on here and they can help. Justin (jusmx141) on here would be my go to guy if I needed help!

Just make sure to scribe a mark into the bolt and comp wheel to make a straight line. Then when you retorque after your rebuild it should line back up perfect. Be very gentle taking the housings off. And be sure to get some good assembly lube. And if you want solid boost take some time to port the turbine housing!! Something like this

Porting just helps the airflow to be less restricted right? It doesn't spool sooner does it?

Thanks man.

Does porting help it to spool quicker?

 

[Dsmkauai]

It can to a point, but it's more to help with boost creep And spikes.
