Hi guy, my turbo on my 85 MQ has started to leak oil and has some slop in the bearing.

On the turbo it has T15 but every turbo listed as T15 on ebay looks wrong and is listed for motor around 2 liter or smaller. The inlet and outlet pipes are also a different size to the turbo on my MQ

I want to put a kit through my turbo and need to know if the T15 I see on the turbo is correct number I should be looking for or is there other numbers hidden were I cant see them with the turbo still on the motor.

My turbo is the stock factory fitted turbo any help with getting the correct kit or replacement turbo would be much appreciated.

Hopefully someone will be able to assist mate - being the silly season and all these sometimes get missed, so hang tight and I'm sure one of the mechanically minded will have some thoughts to offer!!

hitachi turbo. approx 8lb boost. Parts very limited for them. MTQ in Toowoomba QLD can rebuild if it only needs seals. Otherwise replace with mitsubishi turbo, little bit of mucking around with pipework but worth it.
