Default where to find OEM turbocharger for 87 930?

My 87 930 turbocharger just went out. Does anyone know who might still have new OEM? or even an OEM rebuild? Porsche no longer supplies this part; trying to keep the car as "stock" as possible.

Thanks.

Nope, but a lot of us have used 3LDZ's

Just had a K29 installed in mine. My 930 has been modified so what you buy will depend on your own vehicle. Good luck.

Which car?
If it's my old car I had the original in a box. I'd just send out your 3ldz for rebuild.

Default 3LDZ

Yes, your car when I bought the car (with the beautiful red interior), I had everything put back to stock. Unfortunately, I did not account for the 3LDZ going bad, which now I know is common place. Yes, rebuilding it is my choice, want to keep it as original as possible.

Thanks.

That turbo was already rebuilt once by durabuilt I believe. I wish you would just sell me back that car and cut your losses.
The biggest car mistake I ever made was selling that car.

Was that a steel conversion or factory?

Sorry brother. We've all been there! I've sold 2 where I'd certainly be richer for had I had know.
