oh yeh but it does start and drive he drove it about 30 miles and said it ran horrible

yeh i know but he didn't want to swap it cause its in pretty good shape and he really likes my caddy. he said it was spitting oil out of the turbo and when he took it off he could take the shaft and wiggle it around like a 2 dollar hooker haha.

well right now i'm just trying to get it running so i can get it out of where it is right now. but eventually i'm gonna end up doing more work to it. i live in mannford about 45 mins west of tulsa. i am gonna end up redoing the exhaust to completely to 3 inch. i am doing a little bit of a budget build here. i picked up a srt4 intercooler stuff like that. i'm just trying to have a little fun and slowly fix here up. i mean i traded a 77 cadillac coupe deville for it so it wouldn't get chopped up and v8ed haha.

does anyone know if any turbos out of any other cars will work cause i haven't found a z in a junkyard around here and i heard the ebay cheap turbos weren't very realiable. i'm looking for something to replace the one i have cause the guy said he is pretty sure that its not rebuildable.

well the guy that has it now says he isn't sure if the turbo can be rebuilt cause it has tons of play in the shaft and as well he can tell its toast. can you buy rebuilt ones for 200 if so where?

yeah i'm trying to figure out if there is a turbo off another car i could get to replace mine cause there aren't many 280's around where i live.

I just got my 82 2+2 and the turbo is doa. what could i use as a replacenment turbo fairly cheap just so i can get it running and possibly drive around a bit?
