i just got a perfect condition vent free from a half cut that was being thrown out from my friendly local workshop last week.

FWIW a vent sold on ebay for $50 a couple of weeks ago....keep looking

I need some vents also, but I was thinking....

Surely it's possible to get a better solution than replacing them with stock items?

Does anyone know of someone who makes them form (say) aluminium? Maybe some harder wearing plastic?

Because I get the feeling that buying second hand will just make the problem come back in 12 months, and even buying new might only give a year or two of respite.

I bought new around a year ago and they feel the same as when I put them in. I just make sure I use a sunshade when I park at work - stops the vents from perishing and the dash from lifting :(

I'd hazard a guess that aluminium would be more expensive than two or three new vents

      Your profile doesn't say where you are, but you can get your current turbo rebuilt by any competent turbo shop, places like Precision Turbos or GCG They can replace the core with a modern ball bearing unit and should be able to source same or slightly larger wheels to fit in you housing. Note if you change the core you may need new oil and water lines too

      If you are fine with China turbos, Maxpeedingrods makes a bolt on turbo. Ive had mine for two summers now and it seems to be holding up ok.

      Howdy all Im in a little predicament and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are? I’ve had my long block rebuilt and am in the market for a turbo due to my old one having metal shavings from crank bearings (cause of rebuild) go throughout the turbos oil lines and there wheel has a little play. I’m not really aiming for any power, just trying to keep it as oem as possible, but I can’t find a turbo that’s built for the stock ecu or find something that would be a standard replacement. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions

      How's everyone going? Just a shout-out introducing myself. I'm James, I live on the north side of Brisbane. I bought an R33 that had been left to rot in someone's front yard for 14 years. Apparently, it has immobiliser/fuel issues. Long story short, it's suffering from a seized engine, plus whatever else turns up once it runs. The car is pretty good considering it sat for so long. It pretty much died after being imported. It has a bunch of Jap parts and a full Top Secret body kit. It's painted Fiat Turchese Festival, or aqua blue if you're not French. Another project to throw money at!
