hey i just gotta question. I think the seals are beginning to go out on the turbo. I can smell the car slightly burning oil now. I've got 153,157,160,160 compression, and refurbished head with new valve stem seals, new head gasket. so i would think none of those are causing the oil burning, which makes me think its prolly the seals goin out in the turbo. If anyone else has any ideas what it could be that is burning oil then please lemme know. But the last thing i wanted to ask was how hard is it to like rebuild the turbo? i've never done any turbo work in my life, and there isn't crap for performance shops around here, so i was thinkin it'd save me a lot of money if i could just rebuild this thing myself, if anyone has tips or any info or anything about rebuilding em, please help point me in the right direction. If its a bad idea for me to try to rebuild it, then don't be scared to tell me im a moron for just thinking of trying it out!
