I used to buy for 6 years from turbo technics and never had one problem at all.

For any rollerbearing units I recommend turbo dynamics.

Yeah mate, get it rebuilt.

TT and Univeral Turbos I've dealt with and have both been spot on

infact the problem with mine was the little coin thing was slack and was hitting the inside of the elbow and causing it to stick.

if you take it off and try and get it a bit tighter it would be fine. but no so tight that it doesnt move. so it can seal onto the housing properly

it all looks like new inside still just basically where the shaft goes through the housing feels as if it needs lube.. is as good as new with a squirt of grease but burns off in seconds... it must have just been where its been sitting for 8 months..
