you do realize your posting responses to someone who hasnt been on the board in two months... thread ressurections are confusing I guess.

They are on ebay all the time, thats where I got all my sets from. They are well worth it, for all 6 sections I have paid anywhere from $20 to $75 for a set.

I'll bet on disc brakes, after I did a rear disc conversion on one of my cars, the rusty discs never did clear up until after I had them turned. Like you said a soft scraping noise when slowly coming to a stop, check the discs in the front, and in the rear if you did the conversion. Did the vehicle set for a few months? If it did, this is a definite possibility.

This will give you a general idea of application. http://www.dune-buggy.com/turbo/turbo.htm This page has some sourcing data from junk yards, along with some HP estimates for the diferent series of turbos. IHI data is hard to come by, and not very detailed from what I have found.
