I have been searching and searching this forum for a repair guide to rebuilding the turbo for '99 s80 t6, but to no avail. Can someone please assist me in locating, if any, this guide. Also I've searched on ebay for rebuild kits for my vehicle and they seem pretty inexpensive, are they the real deal? Thanks guys , you are always a big help.

Do you have a link to the eBay auction? Reason I ask is that when I was going to do mine I couldn't get 100% confirmation on the correct kit for it from any of the sellers. I ended up going with Gpop shop who REALLY know their stuff. The process for rebulding the turbos is prettymuch the same as the TD04 which is more common than the teenyweeny TD03's in the T6. you'll need a pressure gauge\pump to make sure the wastegates are set correctly when you are done. I used a cooling pressure tester pump, but a vaccum/pressure pump from Harbour Freight would work too. Otherwise you will need stuff to clean everything down (B12, degreaser, compressed air) and some heavy duty circlips (snap ring?) pliers to separate the CHRA from the compressor housing.

Here's my T6 turbo knowledge:

Turbo make and model: 2x Mitsubishi TD03-8G
Radial (Up and down on wheel) : 0.009" (0.223mm) - 0.019" (0.483mm)
Axial (End to end): 0.0015" (0.038mm - 0.003 (0.076mm)
Wastegate actuator pressure: 6.5psi
