pte 50 trim cartridge?

[99cliprs]

hey I have a blown PTE 50 trim (5031) and the wheels seemed to be jamed because it doesnt even spin unless you force it with a wrench does anybody might know the reason for this? also you can hear something moving around on the inside seems to be sliding along the shaft. Is this turbo rebuildable or should I just look for a new cartridge and where can I find one at?

okay I did my research, found a 5min clip on youtube how to rebuild a t3/t4 then got curious and started taking my turbo apart Its easier then I thought it was going to be. My wheels at first didnt spin freely but after taking the circular backing plate off it was spinning normal again. As for the thing moving along the shaft, that was one of the brass bearings the c clips are not there holding them in place. I took a few pics if anyones interested to see a PTE 5031.

Anyways does anyone know where I can get a rebuild kit for my PTE 50 I heard the TE04 garret kit may not be the same?

I dont know if they sell rebuild kits, but you can always send it to Precision and have them rebuild it.. There is also a member on here who rebuilds them.. Ill post his screen name once I find it..
