Well the 14B looks to have puked it's seals. I haven't started disassembling the center section yet but the exhaust side is coated in oil, along with filling the o2 housing and downpipe.
So I plan on using the info :Turbo Rebuild What I'm looking for is recommendation on rebuild kits. There some on EBAY Anybody have personal experience with any available kits? Or any tips I should know before rebuilding? -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

I rebuilt a small 16g turbo, it worked great until the thrust bearing broke for some reason(probably installed wrong). Spooled almost as fast as a T-25 for its short lifespan.
Might as well do a whole rebuild while you've got it apart. -------------------- Eric Wort
