Default Passenger side turbo toast, anybody have good used ones?

Hey all,
At 97,500 miles, the seals on my passenger side turbo ate it and the turbo is dripping oil all over the place.

To minimize downtime, I'm wondering if anyone has a set of used turbos they would like to sell.

If not, anyone know of a quick, qualified, and reasonably priced shop to do the rebuild? I know of blouch and UMW, but I was hoping for something more local on the east coast.

Stock rebuild, nothing fancy.

Thanks all.

So the day has come. Call Dan Jacobs, Rick Deman or Promotive to see if they have one available and be willing to do a core swap. I can pick up the Dan Jacobs turbos if you make a deal with them.

My understanding with these turbos are that you don't want to keep them on the shelf without a bit of oil running through them and they leak over time. Here is the last set FS.

Edit: Rob has a spare set sitting on his shelf if I remember correctly.. Will email you.

Its a right hand one

We are RHD you are LHD so is confusing saying passenger/driver

Its NOS, brand new in the box, cant see age matters but I will check a date stamp on Monday and let you know!

UMW does core exchange as well. So he can prob ship a rebuilt one out right away.
