Need a new turbo...
So, I'm having a pretty bad week.
I blew the turbo in my CMS4, and it's definitely not a warranty thing - my dime.
That out of the way, what's my best bet for sourcing a replacement? Not wanting to upgrade, just stock replacement - getting it quick is pretty key at this point.

JMTC Has refurbished turbos for sale HERE. I'm not sure how 'quick' they are. But it's an economical option.

OP, just curious how you blew it. Overboosting or cooked it?

Nothing cool like that. Sucked a shop cloth into it.
