redliner Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 wel what i have in the kit bearings etz want them fitted aswell,, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 And balance them with what?? If you are taking a turbo apart mate it needs to be balanced or defeats the purpose. People will tell you ive changed my seals and never balanced it and its been fine. Personally do it once and do it right. Won't be that when the come wheel hits the housing and the whole turbo is history. On that note its a TD04 is it not cheaper just to buy a replacement turbo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redliner Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 thats why im lookin for a company that can balance it for me aswell, thats y im asking any place in ireland that specialise in turbo rebuliding,, replacment turbo whats that a brand new 1, or second hand as the turbo i bought from scooby.net was second hand an is smokin abit,, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Yes mate just a 2nd hand working one from someone breaking a scooby or from egay or somthing like that. TD04's dont command a high price (under £100 usually) and having it rebuilt would cost more than that. I'll have a scan see if I can help you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

redliner Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) ya they a lad pm`d me sayin he knew a fella that rebuilds turbos, an i asked him how much it would cost an he said minimum 295, think il just put back on my old turbo tis only smokin a small bit not nice to look at doe,, thanks for the input studoc 72, Edited January 28, 2013 by redliner Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 If its only smoking a little it will be fine to drive untill you get another one delivered from ebay. Aslong as you dont kick its hole in. £295 is quite steep just to replace seals. So just buy a replacement 2nd hand from ebay some of them only hav 40k miles on them. Good luck mate and no problem glad I can help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
