Replacement turbo needed

They are very easy to rebuild and the rebuild kits are on ebay for cheap.  

Here is one that will work fine.  Look for one like this that has the metal turbo heat shield included, some kits do not:

If it is the stock turbo, the turbine and compressor wheels were balanced separately, meaning you don't need to balance the rotating assembly like many of the online myths say.  But if your turbo was upgraded at some point, then this might not be true.

Here is a how to guide for the rebuild.  This is for a TD04 and not a TD05 but the guts are the same and it follows the same process.  I've referred to this exact procedure on at least one of my rebuilds.  I have another printed out procedure for a TD05 16g in my garage as well, but I printed it over 20 years ago and wasn't able to find it online this morning.    But in some quick searches, I saw a few youtube videos on the topic as well.

oooh, good catch!    I missed that this morning, I just went to ebay quick.      This one has the correct plate but it doesn't have the heat shield:

I was trying to find the exact one I bought a year or so ago.   I didn't put a link in my parts list, it just says 'ebay, $28.50'.     Dig around a bit, you should be able to find one that has the shield as well.   Or just either clean up and re-use your original plate or the heat shield.  The heat shields do degrade though.
