#108490, "S16G Compressor Seal, Center O-Ring, or Rebuild?"


          


When I pull the throttle cable to rev the engine, I see exhaust coming from the inside-center/compressor side of the turbo... there's no shaft play that I can detect, seems fine to me (outside of exhaust leak).

Is there RTV or something on the compressor housing to keep it air tight (quick & easy), or are the o-rings in the center section it? Am I looking at a rebuild, or should I just consider upgrading to the S20G? I've read Corbin's writeup, how long would it take someone (first time) to rebuild it themselves?

S16G @ 20lbs w/ 440's, SFMU, and SAFC
