If you have a model number for the particular turbo I can check with HKS USA on a price and time it will take for the repair.

I'm gonna forward these pics onto my contact @ HKS to see if they recognize the unit. I'll try and get back to you asap.

ok i dont think my turbo is the problem has little to no shaft play and from the looks of the inlet i might be getting blowby so ya probably got some bad piston rings dunno yet but ill do a compression/leakdown test and find out but thanks 4 trying to help me out

Also check the plugs for burning oil as well, if the seals on the turbo are gone you can get that fixed here in the states w/o having to have HKS Japan take care of it.

ya i see. well i took off the turbo and noticed the front housing said hks but the back said garret so i assume that u can use garret seals to if it were leaking

Exactly, most of the internals are Garrett....if I remember correctly HKS just machines their own housings, don't think they do the internals at all.
