Stock turbo likely dead. Rebuild or buy used?

Truck sounds like a dentists office right now. I can only assume the fins are hitting the housing. After taking a look I noticed that my intake plastic had separated at the lower part. My assumption is a small piece of plastic went right through the turbo.

Car is getting an LS in a couple months so I'd like to do it as cheap as possible.

Anyone got one they want to part with cheap?

Happened to me a couple of months back. Rebuilt it myself with genuine Mitsubishi parts-fairly easy....try it! Give me a shout if you need any advice.

Just don't have time to do it myself =| Got some leads on stockers. Any idea for general shop time involved on swapping out a turbo?

Swapping a turbo out should take less than an hour I would assume.

That's what you get for leaving stock air pipe on it ! 1st thing I did was remove the stock setup!
