by any chance does anybody know the proper kit to order to rebuilt the GT67 turbo STS provided in their kits from back in the day. Seems this last scavange pump issue I had may have done in the exhaust seal, plus after 18 years of use it's probably a good thing to give it a rebuild. Issue is I can't figure out what rebuild kit I need to get.

I've got a GT67 STS that I'd sell in very good shape. Probably easier and quicker than trying to find a kit.

Turbo Technology in Tacoma, WA rebuilds turbos.

good point, they might be able to point me in the right direction. i will do the rebuild myself, looks straight forward. just need to know the right kit to order is my current challenge.

It is a Garrett clone, so over a decade ago when I had the same situation with power loss to the scavenge pump I ordered a rebuild kit accordingly. I don't recall the specifics now, but the rebuild kit for a Garrett worked just fine in the STS turbo.

do you remember which turbo you got the kit for? seems there are a number of "garrett rebuild kits" - if you recall anything that would be great - trying to avoid purchasing something that ends up for a completely different unit. I am guessing this is what I need as it seems to cover a wide range of units but hoping to find some verification - https://www.ebay.com/itm/31242969220...hoCxMAQAvD_BwE

It was a one off situation for me 10 years ago, so I can't be sure, but I do recall that it was a very cheap and fairly generic rebuild kit. I would expect the one in the link you posted to work.

I'd be finding a more modern turbo to replace it honestly.
More power at the same boost level from something with a billet wheel.
@gametech what would be a good replacement for that turbo?
I'd think a VS billet 70/70 would be a great replacement or maybe their billet 67/65 turbo?

I am the wrong person to ask about what would make a good replacement. I replaced mine with a twin front mount kit. Somebody in Florida bought my old STS kit years ago. That being said, if the OP is happy with what they have now, a rebuild is certainly cheaper and easier than any other option. A different replacement could involve fitment issues, and would definitely need retuning.
