i'm thinking of rebuilding both my CT12's over the winter (it is england

) and can only seem to find rebuild kits for CT12B turbos. are the 12 and 12B the same internally?

thats great thankyou for that.
i've decided to take the car off the road now for the winter and do pretty much a complete engine stripdown.
1G-GTEs are few and far between here in england so any links concerning parts are a god send.

Ditch the twins and get a single setup, so much more versatile and brings an older engine to life with a modern tech turbo.

because of the rarity of the 1G here in blighty i wanna keep the CT12's to be honest.

its worth getting a shop to check the condition of the bearings / shaft, as bad ones wont hold there balance when they are rebuilt, and hence your wasting your time
