Just be VERY careful with this one, I've not ever seen an oil pump/front crank seal leaking on a VG30 (not just by itself at least, seen a few with virtually every seal, hose & gasket pouring oil out) I've seen PLENTY where the rubber gasket between the sump & the oil pump has been leaking. ...

I would only recommend genuine Garret turbos or cores. The cost to replace a failed unit will quickly exceed any potential savings from cheaper brands. I don't recommend overhauling the core as there is typically wear on the shaft that people tend to deem acceptable - only to have the unit fail shor...

Ball park figures around $3K for a pair of brand new OEM turbos, around $1500 for a pair of turbo cores (reuse housing if they are not damaged) Expect to pay for an engine pull and all the associated dramas along the way - around $1K to pull and refit engine if no serious issues found. Don't bother ...

Check the adjustment of the TPS, check for fault codes, likely a bad det sensor or harness, check operation of O2 sensors as they are good at causing a stumble off idle when they are bad. Beyond that seek professional help :lol: sounds mean but it really isn't and a good proper tech will sort it in ...
