Turbo rebuild
Have a bolt missing on the exhaust side of the turbo housing, ehaust leaking by a little as well. The up-pipes leak a little as well. My question is Where to buy the turbo rebuild kit and up-pipe gaskets for the stock pipes? I can't afford to install bellowed up-pipes. Also should I look into a wicked wheel? Truck is stock now just a 6637 and CCV done. I plan to do a DP tuner someday.

It leaks were the exhaust housing mates to the center section. Very little movement in-out, no side-side. Or was it the other was little side-side, no in-out. Which ever is better that was what i have. Guess I'm worried about the leak

Ok, gotcha, just didn't want you to rebuild if you didn't need it. I can get the rebuild kit for you if you want to PM or call me. Have you checked my pricing on the up-pipes? Just hate to see you go to all that trouble just to have to do it again down the road.

It's ridiculously easy to rebuild, so depending on how many miles is on yours, you can either do it now, or wait until you HAVE to. If you have no in & out play, it's still good. But for about $100, you can have essentially a brand new turbo. Your call.

The truck has 125,000 on it now. I bought it in Oct, '08. So not sure about what has or what has not been done for service or repair. I'm game for rebuilding the turbo, just want to make sure I have all neccessary parts before I begin.
