Hello Listers-

My service technician recently informed me that the inner seals on my turbocharger for my 850 wagon are failing. I've been wiping up a few drops of oil on the floor for about a week, so I took it in today to see if the December repair of the O-ring for the oil return line had failed. Unfortunately, he says it's much more serious. (Like $1,300 bucks serious for a replacement).

The car has 178,000 miles on it, and I really want to keep it. I think that I can have it rebuilt, or find one on e-bay. Exactly what type of turbo is attached to the engine? An to-remain-anonymous internet source says it's a GARRETT AIR RESEARCH TBO 313. Another says it's a TD04hl-15g. Which is it?
