Leaking Tomei M7960
So I just seafoamed my car and noticed my turbo was letting out white smoke meaning it's leaking. Especially on the VBand area. Does the Tomei rebuild kit cover all the aspects of the turbo? Including the VBand Area?

Those turbine housing's have been known to crack occasionally. The rebuild will not fix that. Replace turbine housing. Tomei might not sell them separate.

I am thinking of getting a new evo 9 turbo they sell at FP. I am looking for over 400whp on e85.

Was there evidence of smoke before you seafoamed it?
