Sourcing a CT20 Turbo for LJ70

[Arno]

Hi,

I'm looking to source a CT Turbo for my LJ70 - 1992 first registration, exact production date unknown.

Looking at E-bay there are a few Chinese based suppliers of CT20 turbo's.
Anyone here any experience with the quality of these (chinese) CT20's ?

Price range of these CT20's is around 200 - 250 EURO
Original refurbished Turbo is 3 - 4x that figure with the original turbo as a trade-in.

The one fitted now is occasionally leaking oil at low RPM after some time with 260.000 Km driven.
The oil seal is on it's way to retirement - see also here for a few symptoms.

I got my turbo from maxspeedingrods at a very good price 2 years ago , it was a straight fit and works as it should .

I also had problems with white smoke for a long time in my 1kz though it seemed to come and go , a tin of this in engine oil about a 1000 miles ago appears to have cured it http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/c...00&0&cc5_168&gclid=CJmwrPGTuNQCFYXnGwodLL4Ilw
