The blue smoke on deceleration tells me I am in the market for some new seals.

WSCougarX, don't forget to post back if it is the right kit and how it works out for you!

Thanks,
Dave

Roger that Dave, however I will report my findings in this thread. The rebuild kit will be here in 3 days on Monday. I just hope it's the correct kit

I've found a source for them if you haven't.

Do share.

They did the write up on the link I provided in this thread.

I tried contacting them to no avail. That's a good price. I paid $135 for mine.

A couple major turbo shops basically had this same reply:
"It looks like that is the OEM military turbo. We are unable to sell OEM Schwitzer kits or piece parts according to our contract with Schwitzer. "
So it's hit and miss when shopping for the rebuild kit.

Not trying to spam my company, but I own Midwest Turbo Connection and we rebuild these turbos too. Cost is 400 and that includes balancing (you need to balance it if you want it to last). We offer a 1 year warranty on all our turbos. If you let me know your a steel soldiers member when you send your turbo in I'll give you a discount and throw in our high temp coating for free.

We also can sell you the rebuild kit if you want to do it yourself, again I'll offer a discount if you let me know you are a steel soldier member
