But i'd assume that if you just replace the fins and shaft with high quality parts, the housing and compressor would be just as good as those high dollar turbos!! am i right? I mean the actual turbo itself is probly good stuff! for $130, rebuild kit 200bucks and you've got yourself a real dependable turbo am i right or wrong? |
The rebuild kit i used was $100 shipped and it consisted mostly of the internals of the center section and bearings. The wheels were not included. I ran the turbo up to 17-18 psi and it never gave me any issues. But a little insurance never hurt.  _________________

Where did you get your rebuild kit? 100 bucks means I gotta do it! |
