Hi all,
I was upgrading a few things on my car, including the wastegate spring, and my mechanic found the following issue with my Turbonetics turbo. It looks like the turbo is pretty damaged and it has less than 3000 miles on it. I'm pretty frustrated with the situation since I even had this turbo re-inspected by the company that said it was "within spec."
Would you recommend a turbo rebuild kit? Or at this point should I just get a non-Turbonetics replacement? If so, what would be comparable that you recommend? And where is a good place to buy a turbo that I won't get some knockoff?
This is a T3/T4 Turbonetics 60 trim turbo with 0.82 a/r. I have all supporting mods and it was producing 400+ whp.
See pics.
Thanks for any help and recommendations!
