So im new here, and accidentally posted this in the classifieds the first time ...
Anyway I have a 1990 Mazda Miata with a TD04H turbo. The turbo stopped producing boost last night and I'm not sure why. The compressor spins but it looks pretty beaten up. Can I rebuild it myself? Should I just buy a new turbo? I just need some help going on the right direction thanks

 

You can rebuild yourself...but if the compressor fins are all messed up, it's junk.
TD-04, is this a greddy kit?

 

If you do rebuild it don't buy the cheap ebay crap, get the MHI rebuild kit. Mitsubishi OEM parts.

 

>is this a Greddy kit?
I'm not sure the previous owner installed it...
>if the compressor find are messed up its junk
Can I not replace the compressor fins if I were to rebuild it?
Where would be a good place to buy a new turbo?

 

Okay i would have to take it to get balanced after I rebuilt it, right?

 

Www.gpopshop.com
Call them, tell them what you have.
No you can't replace fins...it's a whole new wheel you'll need.
Gpopshop might have everything you'll need.
Since I'm such a nice guy...I might even offer my rebuild services to you.

 

Moved this thread to DIY turbo section.

Welcome to the internet.

 

We're going to call this a "learning curve"

 

Alright I'll give them a call thanks for the number!

 

You guys seem to have gotten nicer since my noob days... whats the best place to buy a turbo? that **** would have gotten me 17 negative props and a temp ban.

 

The best place to buy a turbo? Your moms house. Ask for me, aka "Dad". I sell turbos...I don't give them as your child support payment. Get a job and man up. This is why your name translates to "accident" in German.

There. Does that make you feel better?

 

the best place to buy turbo is of course ebay
