habe a blown turbo, it's the stock t25. Should I upgrade, fix the blown turbo, or just buy another t25??
 
Also I live in Newport News Virginia if anyone near me has advice or can help me rebuild or do whatever needs to be done.
 
Best way to fix it would be to buy a new CHRA for the GT2554r and swap the turbine and compressor housings onto it. You could also find a T28 if you want a slightly larger turbo or find a good used T25 which can be a crap shoot. I would stay far away from ebay or cheap chinese turbos.
 
Okay so the turbo is not blown that's what the shop I had my car in said. It smoked a lot for about ten minutes but the engine is basically brand new I just dropped 3,000 dollars into it to rebuild due to some issues a year and a half ago. The turbo sounds fine and there isn't anymore smoke should I still get seals though just in case or should I go ahead with the upgrade?? I'm at work so I forgot how many miles are on the car but I know it's at least 130,000 to 150,000 if not more
