anyone delt with these turbos before

wow it has been along time since i have been on this forum

anyway...

drivers side turbo chucked the sh*ts about a year back. havent had the funds to be able to do anything about it exept park the old girl in the garage and occasionally start her just to see a gallon of oil smoke pour out the exhaust.

it was upsetting me looking at it sit in the garage doing nothing except being a giant dust collector so decided to pull the turbo's out finally

and yes, you can pull the turbos out without taking the engine out. you can even pull them out without undoing an engine mount to lift the engine for a little extra space, lol

so my drama is $2000 to get them rebuilt, which is impossible on uni student wages

or:

gotta love aus vs us dollar at the moment

so has anyone delt with or at least heard anything about these turbos at all?

 

Pretty decent cores in them ...just about as good as GT28RS .

But as far as quality and how long they will last ,if they bolt on good??

let us know

 

"CAN MAX UP TO 27 PSI,MAX UP TO 600HP"


um, hmmm, errrr, ehhh. does the site really say 27psi?


do you get the 12 month warrarty running at 27psi?

 

Although slightly more expensive..this would be a better option (in my opinion)

This would be a better bet.

 

lol, yeah, i dont believe the stats they give aswell

but i need to find something that will fit back in from underneath so they basically cant be physically bigger then the t25. it was a tight fit to pull them out

its hard to find something i can afford that will be reasoably reliable

 

dude how small are your hands

 

If you need something to fit back in from underneath, I can rebuild your standard turbo's or high flow them. Standard rebuild is $880 pair. High flow inc. rebuild is $1600 pair.

 

lol, im half phillipino so kinda small

 

what exactly do i get for $880?

 

New bushes, seals, o'rings, circlips, retainers, bolts. Gates pressure checked and replaced if needed, New impellor if needed, most do. Assembly balanced and reassembled into soda blasted housings. All parts are genuine Garrett. Supplied with all gaskets and copper washers to refit to engine.

 

compressor wheel was grinding on the housing, will what you just mentioned take car of that?

 

Unless the shaft is bent, yes. If it is bent beyond repair I have a heap of turbo cores that I use for housings, shafts etc when needed.

 

might have to give you a call sometime then. would prefer to get them rebuilt over ebay turbos, havent had much luck with ebay lately
