well my turbo took a **** tonight! my truck was blowing smoke all the way home, took the air filter off and the barrings are gone and blowing oil in pipes! should i buy a new one or fix the old one???

 

Are you sure the bearings are gone as in the blades hit the housing? If there is just a lot of oil in the pipe, there is probable a problem with your oil return pump. Check the fuse for it. Turbos don't fail very often and when they do then generally lockup or break the shaft.

 

yes the blades are hitting the housing. the oil is returnin to the motor.

 

how much is a new gt70 turbo?

 

Josh, I'll p.m. you a number of a place you can check.
Oh, and what STS calls a GT is not a true GT turbo.

 

You can get a brand new Master Power T-70 for about $585 shipped. And you can use your current exhaust housing on it so it will be a direct bolt on.

 

If you want to go the MP T-70 route, I got one that's almost new I'd let go for $525 shipped. I've even got the pipe you would need to hook it up to your STS kit. (it has a 2 1/2 outlet instead of the 2" of the 67) I'm running one on my truck and I love it. PM me if you want.

 

Sounds like what happened to my buddies wrx. It looks like a locomotive comming down the road. When we too the turbo off, there was as much as 1/2 play in the shaft side to side and the turbine fins had begun to dig into the housing
