Well... after contacting people trying to get someone to rebuild it.. No one wants to mess with it it seems like. Everyone just telling me to get a new one, don't know if it is shops wanting me to buy a turbo from them or what. I just find it hard to believe that it cost 350-400 dollars to put bearings and turbine wheel on a little turbo that cost 350-400 dollars! WTF.
Moving on, just bought a used TD-025M (same as I had) but internally wasted (I:I) for 122 shipped (I:I) off ebay. Said no shaft play in and out or side to side. The guys feedback score was like 2300 something 100% positive. So why not. I have also come to the conclusion that I probably need a heftier oil pump, as this little fuel pump operates at very low pressure as to keep from pushing fuel past the needle on a carb. Now I am on the hunt for a decent electric pump and since this turbo is gated, that saves some money. Can get a cheap manual boost controller for turning up the boost.
The Turboblaster will live again!!! B)
