Hi guys I am new to this list and new to turbocharging anything so bare with me if my question are dumb or have already been covered before. I own a 1978 Kawasaki LTD 1000. I have a turbo off of a 1984 Chrysler Laser 2.2 liter 4 cylinder. The turbo is a AiResearch m10 with a AR of .48. I have made my own header, intercooler,intake,pop off valve, and priority valve. I work at a welding, fabrication, machine shop. My questions are where do you guys get the one way check valves that go in the oil lines, I can't locate any. Can the average person put new seals and bearings in a turbo? If so any idea where to obtian the parts? How can a person tell if the turbo is spinning up to speed?( I think mine needs rebuilt ) I am also trying to find a "dial a boost control" like the one shown in Joe Halie's book. My turbo has the waste gate on it that came on the Laser and opens at 7 psi. Any help and tips would be appreciated. Thanks Jeff
