Try New England Turbo, here's the info I got from www.bigyellow.com: N E Turbo 2376 Providence Road, Northbridge, MA 01534 (508) 234-4309 (508) 234-6342 (fax) (800) 344-4309 (800) 281-4309 I'm sure there are other good turbo rebuilders out there, but I've dealt with these guys a bit and they seem very good. Couple other points: You should replace the oil feed and return lines for the turbocharger. The oil tends to carbonize inside them to the point where they can become completely clogged, and they're almost impossible to clean properly. Turbo rebuilders usually won't warranty the turbo if you can't prove you replaced these items. Also, the oil does not really provide all that much cooling for the turbo - only about 1 gal/min. flows thru there. If it got red hot, and the car was not being pushed to it's max - like full-throttle for several minutes or more - I'd be looking for some other reason the turbo got that hot - misfire in the motor or something?
