Or is there a used (or rebuilt) reasonable turbo out there that would just bolt right on to replace my turbo (the car is an 85TE). Do any of you guys know someone who has the parts I could buy?(I'm assuming I will have to also balance the turbine/compressor wheel if it gets changed also).


Thanks,

Paul,


Contact Jamie at MJM Turbos (link below) for answers to your questions...He has owned several Loti over the years (both 4 cyl and V8) and he really knows his stuff. (along with John Welsh)
