on one unit the seal had completely disappeared-i mean turned to some sort of carbonized product that had to be picked out of the groove in pieces. After i cleaned it up, i was able to install a new ring, but the housing surface has that dragged metal look to it, so i am not going to bother trying to use as is. It would probably be fine/bearable, but combine that with the fact that the turbo is kind of a pain to R&R in the car, i am ordering another $170 unit (including shipping, thank you Clifford, a Saabnet classifieds guy) as the one in the SiS has done so well (from the same guy).
The catastrophic failure i had in the spring was down to a 'c' retaining clip disappearing from the exhaust side bearing! Left puddles of oil all over the turbo, and destroyed the exhaust seal& housing
Thanks again.
