So my ? is you all know my egt's run really high most of the time, is this what caused my turbo to wear like this? Or could it be from over boosting? Maybe even a combination of both? Now I'm not sure if u should upgrade or rebuild it. Besides a he'll of a difference in price would It be worth it beings how I still haven't gotten my injector issue worked out yet! Urghhh

With that much in and out play. I'd say it's past a kit. It will at least need a compressor housing backplate, too. Doubling the cost. Go big or go home. lol
Hook it, I'll pull it.
