Has anyone had an RB25 turbo rebuilt? I have two good low mileage SII turbos that I think need new seals. Anybody know of any place that can work with the rb25 turbos?

Just my opinion but it is probably just couple hundred bucks more to step up to a better turbo. I went to get an rebuild estimate on my rb25 sII turbo and it was like495.00. f that its better to buy a good used turbo or upgraded just my 2 cents

chuck it. It's like overhauling a Bic lighter even if you DON'T have the one with the plastic compressor wheel.

Why go stock? This is the perfect opportunity for an upgrade.
