I have My '84 E24 on stands doing a round of work. One projects was to pull the turbo for an oil feed fitting leak. I found I'm beginning to get a couple exhaust leaks as well. Inspecting the turbo showed it is time to be gone through. While there is no obvious end play, it does need bearings. It is pretty sloppy and there are slight witness marks on the turbine and exhaust housing.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a turbo rebuild shop, preferably in FL or the SE? Searching brings up quite a few, mostly diesel and industrial shops not that should matter. Evergreen Turbo in Ocala seems to have lots of positive reviews with no negative seen. I take reviews with a grain of salt. They also are mentioned up positively in several different forums, including here.
