After something for my z18et have blown my current one. Is it better to rebuild or get another one? I dont really want to put a bigger one on as the injectors are small. Who is good in chch?
Cheers.

what you mean you have blown it? the bearings go or its literally exploded?
if it needs a rebuild try diesel sevices ltd by beaurepaires on blenheim rd or diesel pumps on parkhouse rd. we deal with them through work and both do an excellent job

The seal has gone inside it so blows extreme smoke under boost and uses heaps of oil.

Getting it rebuilt $280 so not too bad.
