So... I just bought a Stock 90' GSX... and am in the process of dropping the old trans to slap in a rebuilt one.
Well, I decided that I'd go ahead and change out the cracked manifold (Didn't know how bad until I looked at the underside) and clean out all of the intake piping as it had gunk and oil built up from the blowback (Which I plugged off on the intake piping and filtered at the Valvue cover)
Anyway... when I removed the Exhaust Manifold... I looked down in my Turbo and noticed a large crack down the right side that leads to the O2 Housing. Now I know the Car still spools and pulls very hard, so I was wondering if this turbo is any good? I know it needs to be replaced because of that crack.... but it doesn't seem to have effected it's ability to force boost. Perhaps degrade it.
=/ So... what should I do? Get another TD05H or Upgrade? Or is the damage repairable?
