Default Turbo rebuild suggestions

Welp the joys of buying things used has poked its head out. Both my turbos are blowing oil out the intake and exhaust housing. Im pretty sure the seals are blown out or worn. I need to have them rebuilt i talked to majestic and honestly they must be extremely proud of their work because they want 400 a piece to rebuild them. Any recommendations would be helpful thanks. Im starting to miss my magnacharger lol

I should do a write up on this. Its rather easy. One thing to be certain of befor you tear it down is to take a paint pen or sharpy and mark the jam nut shaft and compressor impeller with each other. (thanks rick :thumbs: ) That way you can line it back up and dont have to get it rebalanced Other than that its basic mechanics.

there was a guy on ebay selling staggered gap rings that seal the oil really well, and you don't have to gap them.
