rebuilding turbos questions
So who is makes a rebuild kit for the turbo for the 280zx?
Are all rebuilding kits basically the same? or are there major differenences from let's say a t25 and a t3/04?
What does a kit consist of?
Do I nessecarly have to get someone else's rebuild kit, or can I get the parts for my own for much cheaper at a hardware/home supply store?

the reason why im asking is because i want to look into opening a turbo rebuilding business and was looking for a way to get the same parts but not have to buy someone else's kit

I suggest getting to know turbos & cars more before opening a shop.
And you will have a hard time finding parts like this anywhere but from a turbo supply company.

yeah i was going to practice on some turbos i have at home for at least 6 months before trying to even open the shop to see if it's something i actually want to do. I was hoping that i could get the individual parts for less then the price of a kit but i guess not
