Bad turbo. How much for a rebuild?

[teampruven01]

Is it more cost effective to get a turbo rebuilt? Im blowing oil bad. Guessing its seals. Has anyone paid to have thos done? How much is it?

Turbo rebuild kits are around $100. The actual process is straight forward. There are also guides out there on how to do it. If you wish for it to be professionally rebuilt, then contact Justin on the forums. Jusmx141

If you are mechanical, a turbo rebuild is not that hard.

I've always rebuilt mitsu turbos myself via the vfaq. Its easy and theres a kit on ebay for $45 shipped that works great. Just have to make sure you scribe the line across the shaft, nut and wheel. This is the one I've been using: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Performance...pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr

Obviously as long as the turbine wheels and shaft are ok rebuild kits for most turbos are cheap and wouldn't require a rebalance unless you wanted to have it rebalanced just in case.

I prefer to use quality materials to rebuild a turbo. Check this link. Turbo Repair Kit Genuine DSM Eclipse Eagle 1G TD05H 14B | eBay

No offense but whos to say what "quality" is? You can't say one is over another unless you get both and have them tested one against another, I've not had an issue with what you'd call "cheap" parts but everyone is different. Regardless each is to there own and Pruven doesn't want to rebuild it anyways, going to have someone else do it.

I might be interested in a blown small 16g..If it's cheap enough..

OK, you're right. I mean I prefer OEM materials. Sorry.
