dead turbo?

[Thecorrupterx]

my turbo started making clicking/tinking noises and it is no longer easy to turn by hand. to me this sounds like a dead or dying turbo. so i have stopped driving it and I am currently sourcing a new turbo. all of the local pull yards have either been picked clean or all of the turbo benz's have seized turbos. does anyone know of a different make or modle of turbo car that i could pull a turbo fron that would bolt upto my car or does anyone have a spare turbo for sale?

any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have one that has a bit of shaft play, but was working fine when I pulled it. PM me if interested.
