So my turbo as it sits needs a complete rebuild. So here are my choices and reasoning:

1.) Rebuild turbo - $900. It's a $2200 turbo. It makes great power, spools quickly, ceramic ball bearing, would have the compressor housing bored with a new wheel making it an 82mm, and would install right back into place with no modifications needed to existing plumbing, downpipe, etc. It would have a one year warranty which is the same as for a new turbo. Minimal tuning, if any, would be required.

2.) Get a Master Power T76 from Allen - $. Turbo is extremely similar to the Turbonetics specs, smaller than the 80mm so faster spooling, journal bearings so longer lasting than the ball bearings in the 80mm, my downpipe would have to be removed and have a 3'' flange welded on, and truck would have to be retuned due to different flow rates. Some replumbing required since the 80mm is water-cooled and the MP isn't.

Thoughts? I'm leaning towards a rebuild.
