I just tested for boost leaks, and found one comming out of the Turbine housing. I can’t pressurize the system to over 9psi using a big air compressor. The boost is leaking through the bearing housing and hissing out through the turbine wheel. Now what I really want to know is, what might be wrong with this turbo charger, if anything.
And would it be cheaper to try to fix it or replace the whole turbo?

instead of buying a turbo kit for a couple thousand dollars I’m going to see if i can piece one together for a little cheaper. basically i know i need the turbo, waste gate, timer, and BOV. i was wondering what else i would need. Also what kind of BOV makes that cool whistling sound? i was told RFL but that isn’t much help lol i need more of a type or model. any help would be appreciated thanks in advance

Hello everyone. I’ve recently bought an old Garrett T2 fixed geometry turbine (wastegated)turbocharger for a very low price. The reason for it was that the turbo clearly needs some rebuilding, which i’m willing to do in my spare time. The issue is that the turbo shaft is completely blocked. It won’t rotate neither if trying to turn the turbine nor the compressor wheels, which won’t turn either, even if i pour some diesel grade lubricant oil (the turbo itself came from a Diesel engine) inside the oil inlet. I’ve already put a lot of WD40 inside it, in order to dislodge eventual carb buildups, to no avail. What could be the cause? I’m completely new to turbocharger rebuilding. I’d really like to know what i’m going to hopefully fix up inside that delicate piece of machinery before taking out my tools to open the housings. Upon a close inspection of the compressor inlet/turbine exhaust both wheels seem pretty healthy (both wheels don’t seem to groove inside the inlet’s/exhaust’s wall, and the blades aren’t chipped off). It ain’t a water cooled turbo. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

P.S. If it turns out to be the bearings, how much do you think i’m gonna spend for a pair of brand new ones and where could i buy them? (aside from the Internet)
Edit: Well so far i think you’ve missed it. I wanted to know what could be the cause of that blocked shaft before making an inspection inside the turbo.
Edit2: No spamming, please. I repeat that i’m looking after the mechanical cause of the turbo failure, i’m not looking after products, spare parts or even another turbo.
