My friend just fried his 14b and needs a rebuild kit. Where can I find one? Thanks

You've been very, very lucky.just upgrade. you could probably find a ebay turbo for the same price. I've had great luck with mine and I paid $125. Brand New.
You've been very, very lucky.
My friend has also been talking about rebuilding his 14b, but someone I know said that the rebuilt turbos don't usually last very long and that it'd be better to just buy a new one, anyone have opinions about this?
Apparently this guy doesn't believe rebuilt engines are the way to go, either....you're better off with a brand new 4G63 engine right from the dealer.
So he built his own engine and trans, but turbos are his Kryptonite? That makes me feel pretty good considering I've successfully rebuilt plenty of turbos.
I guess everyone has their niche.
I've seen new turbos that lasted 400 miles, and I've seen rebuilt/reman turbos last 70k+ miles. It's often not the fault of the turbo itself as much as how it was cared for, what shape the engine is in that it's mounted to, etc......rebuilt turbos last just as long as new ones correct?
