Mercedes will be more than happy to sell me an entire turbo for about 10 times more than I paid for my first car. They know me well and when they saw the price, they just shook their heads knowing I would not like what they had to tell me. They do not sell turbo parts. They do not fix them either - at least not the dealers around me.

Or you haven't tried to get the rebuild parts? I wonder if they're available from the turbo manufacturer? Can't recall the name at the moment but they're a subsidiary of Allied-Signal now Honeywell.
