Fins are slightly chipped but the turbo spins fine, makes and holds boost as it should. Comes with S14 actuator @ 5psi

The compressor side oil seal is gone and needs replacing

Looking for 280$

FYI,

S14 ball bearing turbo’s are NOT rebuildable. CHRA need to be replaced.

for sure they are rebuildable, it just takes a professional to do it, unlike t25’s which some ppl can redo at home with the right tools.

If you call replacing the center section housing (with turbine and compressor blades) as rebuild. Then it’s a rebuild.

anything can be rebuilt

but BB turbos are more difficult and more expensive to have done.

all it needs is the compressor seal and possibly a new compressor wheel if you care that much.

The bearing casing shouldn’t affect chaningthe compressor seals.

The S14 and S15 T28’s are both equiped with a ball bearing centre section. You are probably getting confused with some of the Aussie spec cars that came with wet bearing centre sections. Please try researching your info a little bit before you make a post containing bad information.
