The turbo seals are probably on their way out. Do you notice any smoke out your tailpipe?

Do you mean my exhaust? if so, yes, some, but that is from the engine age. It only smokes a little when i shift hard.
If its the seals should i just by a turbo rebuild kit?

Hmmm, well if it really doesn't bother you and it's not smoking abnormally, then I wouldn't worry about it just yet. But if it gets any worse, I'd try and look into picking up a rebuilt center section from Custom Coach. You can get a rebuild kit, but then it's got to be shipped out to be rebuilt and balanced if you wanted, and for the cost, you could just get another turbo. So I think your best bet if your considering fixing this would be to contact Custom Coach and see what he's got in stock.
