After 39 years the flange which connects to exhaust housing for the turbo charger on the stbd 671ti broke off. Will need to replace the housing or perhaps replacing the whole turbo might work. Any suggestions re sources for parts. Considering the boat's age and mine, used parts might make sense.

I believe the turbo number is 5103838, I didn't see the number on the turbo, but didn't know where to look.Regards,

Usually, it's on a tag on the center housing. Bring your flashlight.

Re: Detroit Turbo Parts Source
The Lafayette office of these folks below were able to get me the large turbo clamps (rebuilt ones) for my 12V71 turbos.They had a rebuilder somewhere in Arizona with lots of turbo parts. I don't remember the guys name and no longer live in LA but it would be worth a call to one of their offices. They deal with alot of crew boats that still run Detroits for both mains and generators

Re: Detroit Turbo Parts Source
When I needed one a few years ago for my 671tib it was near impossible to find since the housings tend to wear out. I believe there is a place in Ft. Lauderdale that can weld on new flanges

Re: Detroit Turbo Parts Source
Thanks for the advice. I've been busy with my day job. Hope to get the turbo pulled soon and see just what parts are needed.
