I took my '91 stock turbo unit in 1 1/2 weeks ago to a shop for

wanted $400

I've been told the bearing and seal kit is $130 or so. As long as you're not
changing the wheels (and therefore need to balance the turbo) the bearings
look SUPER easy to change. Need a small pair of snap-ring pliers, and that's
about it.

The exhaust housing is cast iron, the bearing assy is cast iron, the backing
plate and comp housing are AL. Wheels are unobtanium :) I think both of mine
are iconel - they're too light for stainless.
