    need to replace my VJ20

    My EGT w/BPT- started whistling and and got louder until the boost dropped to 0, them it started smoking oil smoke out the exhaust. I was able to drive it home just without boost. Seems the turbo went bad inside. It was to late to start taking it apart tonight.
    I searched this forum but did see any thing about repairing a VJ20 or getting a replacement that will fit without heavy mods.
    any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
    thanks jmczzz

    well as long as theres no real damage to the shaft or wheels there is a rebuild kit for it thats not to expensive.

      You can use the center section of a vj11 off a probe/mx6. Its basically the same as a vj20 only cheaper

          thanks. I am in the market for a complete VJ20, or a VJ11 complete or center section, or a rebuild kit for a VJ20.
          the more options the better. know where any of these might be available?
          thanks again, jmczzz
