Does anyone have tips on rebuilding a 2000 volvo turbo? Where to buy the kit? t3/t4 kit? I have seen several kits available online.

thank you.

I had a 1999 S80 twin turbo that was blowing oil by the compressor wheel into the intake. I bought a kit from them for about $110, I also sent them the compressor wheel, shaft and turbine to have them rebalanced for $60. With shipping, the whole rebuild came to about $200. It's not a difficult job, just have a clean workspace, oil the shafts when you re-assemble and go slow. Take lots of pictures on disassembly so that everything goes back together exactly the same as it came apart. Also, buy new copper washers for the oil lines and new gaskets for the coolant lines.
