Ugh. I can't believe I was so stupid/careless. I was so caught up with the driveability issues that I didn't even check the oil level in my car for well over 1000 miles.

This morning, I found out what turbo vanes sound like when they scrape on the compressor housing. I was at least 2 quarts low, I think. I checked the bearings on the weekend when I reattached the wastegate rod linkage, and they were fantastic. >.<

Anyway, enough self-flagellation.

For clarity's sake, I have a Mitsubishi TD-04 (TD04)
What am I looking at?
Rebuild turbo (kits cost how much? possible with the wheel scraping the housing?)
Used good turbo
Refurbished/Reman turbo
New turbo

I might just want to buy a 92 740 for parts at this point...

On the up-side, I will hopefully have my motorcycle back on the road by the time I go to work on Thursday.
