Turbo seal replacement
Anybody ever replace their own turbo seal? I'm puffing smoke at idle and when I pulled my DP, after warming up, i'm seeing oil seeping on the exhaust side... Pretty sure that's all that's wrong, as the turbo still spools fine and pulls like mad...just embarrassing as hell at red lights...
Turbo is a Precision TE62 (old school, I know)...

Re: Turbo seal replacement
Update for anyone who GAF: Got a call from PTE yesterday, looks like the oil pickup sent some garbage through the turbo... I ended up giving them the old turbo as a core and they gave me $400 off on a new PTE 6262... should have it next week.... niiice.....
