Seized turbo, what replacement???

Post by TRAVIS BICKLE »

my 98 D8 2.0 (petrol) turbo has seized, suspect oil feed restriction, does anyone have a good standard or uprated turbo kicking around? or know where i can get one from or even know what alternatives fit ie Saab or Nissan. wouldnt mind uppping the boost a bit, the engine is standard right now. many thanks.
98, Executive turbo estate in aluminum silver. The stealth wagon! Now departed, New project Xsara VTR-8 in progress, Next Project, 406 D8 / JAP. So will be looking for a 406 again when the xsara is done!

Send a PM to Niz406, I'm sure he said he had one kicking around.
