[diesel_mercedes] Re : Turbo rebuild advice

 


Sounds good to me :

Is Turbo City that place on Van Ness ? .

My Son told me the main thing is _HOSPITAL_ cleanliness and replacing the bushings , shims and O-Rings as they (apparently) all work in concert to suspend the impellers so no oil leaks out .

I need to address the oily turbo in my Sports Coupe , it has the tell tale thing blue exhaust stream indicating oil being sucked past the seals and getting burned .
