ball bearing the turbo involved fitting a complete new turbo core so fitted, balanced, checked over, etc etc cost me £835.00 about $1670.00 but the turbo came back like brand new couldnt belive it was the same turbo i sent.

also included was new gaskets,banjo bolts, etc

This has been beat to death...do a search. To make this work, you have to get a complete heater/AC unit that goes behind the dash as the JDM/EDM automatic climate control is electric and not cable actuated like ours. Add all the wiring harnesses for this, as well as the front ECU that helps control it. Then install it and figure out how to make it work and fit in a LH drive vehicle.

After all this post a 'How to...' many would be interested.
