??? Regarding Turbos
If you had to replace your stock turbo, from whom would you buy it and what would you buy? How much of a job is it to replace a turbo?
Can the bearings in the stock turbo be replaced?

If I could I would rebuild the one I have since I already have HTT's Stage IV compressor and housing. If I had to replace it I would probably look for a good HX35 and use my 16cm housing.

Swapping the turbo is not a big deal. Just a couple of clamps, six bolts, and an oil line.
You can get the stuff to rebuild it, they are not complicated and you don't need any specialized tools. Or you can just get a rebuilt. A lot of guys on this board have had good experiences with HTT. They will send you out a rebuilt, then you send in your old one as a core so there is no downtime.

Turbo stuff
Thanks for the input. I checked that web site and it looks like a new turbo would run about 8-900 dollars. Without even checking, that has to be cheaper than going to Dodge, even with my son's discount. (He's a salesman at a Dodge dealer.)
