Mechanics Report on Callaway
If the shaft is that bad, it has prob. impacted on the housing and the fins
will be toast. You can pick up new "rebuild" kits to do it yourself, but
the rotomaster turbo was bought out by Garret and they use the t3/4 base (I
believe)
So you can easily replace the turbo with a more modern (better?). I have
seen t4's going for $200-300 new on ebay. Just check the flange.
The only benefit of the Rotomasters were they typically had a water jacket
for cooling, which many of the garret's did not.
Turbocity used to rebuild them (I think it was them).

> --Internet info states that original turbo was ROTOMASTER TO4B
