Found!!!!
Bought a turbo with a 1 year warranty, no core charge From superior turbo in Detroit. 1700.00 !!!!!!its in the mail.
They mill out the housing to accept a Borg Warner cartridge.
Also of importance is that if the turbo didn't ingest anything harmful to cause a come-apart then just lower your RPM and keep going.
I pulled my turbo off in June thinking I could have it rebuilt in a couple of weeks.
Not the case.
That's why I want options if this happens again.

Truthfully the turbo was locked up for a long time. I motored for a month not knowing it because I never got above 2200 rpm. I know the engine runs without it just not at its best. The adaptor would be a "get to a port" solution and not a permanent fix. Should be simple. "Should be" the key...
Not the case. I need a spare turbo. Both are already turbocharged. Wanting to get a spare for the loop in a few years.
Man these things are tough to find.
1986 Mainship DC
Same experience. Had a MS34 MK II. Awesome day and weekender boat. Too cramped for me and the Commodore. Moved up to a MS 40 DC with twin Detroits. Loving every minute of it. We live on it.
Kentuckian as well. Grew up in Frankfort but now located at KY lake. Holler if you get down here. I'm the Park Ranger at Kenlake State Park. Glad to help anyone passing by.
I've been a lurker on here for a year trying to learn. My wife and I bought a 79 Mainship MKII last September and love it. It needs some TLC but what boat doesn't. Glad to be here and looking forward to the advice.
I'll take the following
Both fuel lift pumps 55.00
Circulating pump. 50.00
Crossover tube. 20.00
Thermostats 20.00
