Turbo Tribulations, Thats gotta suck! Options

[94celicaguy]

well, just got done installing my turbo after 3 days of BS. to make a long story short, i got everything on and finally got to start my car. me and my buddy drove it down the road and to my dismay was smoke everywhere!!!! My turbo is sooooo shot. I am cheap so i bought a used turbo off of a guy. There was soooooo much smoke it wasnt even funny. But i dont care because that was the loudest spooling turbo i have ever heard in my life. I am ordering a NEW (keyword NEW) turbo tomorrow and i hope to have the beast running in a couple weeks. I have actually heard a turbo spool up on my celica. The moral of this story is........ DONT BUY USED TURBOS FROM SOME GUY IN CANADA!!!!!!!lol you live and you learn

Before you order a new turbo, you can actuallty rebuld your turbo. I haven't actually done, but my cousin says its real easy. You basically take apart your turbo, pull out the gaskets and replace them. Put it back together and you're done. Unless you have real physical damage to any of the fins or cracks in the turbo, it should run like new.
