rebuild or replace?

[DOHCSIDE BOOST]

at what milage do you rebuild or just replace stock turbo? mine seems to just not have any top end pull anymore, not that it had alot to begin with but latel it just seems im getting less performance out of my car, i just did a tune up and all that good stuff but turbo seems to just give up after 5k.

How many miles are on your car? I wouldnt just go and rebuilt that turbo. It could be a number of things. Are any of your intercooler pipes leaking?

I would pull the intake off and see how much shaft play you have also.

Just my 2 pennies.

I think you shuld not rebuilt that turbo look it to finding a cheap turbo or even a bigger turbo and also check to see that you dont have any leaks and are you always RUNNING 91! OCT dont lag on the petro! if your running 87 or anything low your car wont feel fast and make the turbo lag so check this out and let me know! lates and good luck with your turbo~! and get rid of that MINI Turbo! get garret!
