Azz Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I would do it yourself fella, there's loads of step by step videos on YouTube.All you need to do is buy the rebuild kit and will take a an hour to do Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Owens will be your best bet, the guys down there are sound and their prices are very reasonable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 As much as i hate to turn down work Owen Developments for sure mate, i've seen there work and every other turbo companies and Owen's stuff is mega impressive Do you need it to be a roller ball bearing turbo? As i could possibly switch it too normal journal bearing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwdrev Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 i wouldnt touch a turbo, i would tackle everything else bar gearbox's and turbo's, its something thats a costly job to replace if it fucks up. not bothered liam, aslong as it works and dont chuck out oil. would it be easy enuf to swap it? it spins ok, but theres oil in the exhaust housing, also been using it as a dummy to build my manifold and its been lying around for a while. the inlet housing has also been messed with, someone has tryed smoothing the the intake (filter end) of the turbo, is there any chance of sorting this also? il try and get a pic of the turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 As fare as I'm aware you need a new core. Owen developments sorted me out a new core for my 35, see where your coming from about not wanting to pay the price for one. Mine was just over the 1k mark :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rwdrev Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 can just see black swirls in the intake, too course of sand paper was used. they havnt gone as far as where the turbo blades are tho. not the best of pics, but this is what im on with Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I could potentialy make it a non roller ball bearing for you. But it would all depend on what parts the turbos made up of, and whats available. Would still imagine it to cost a fair bit though (£500ish) Will be free to check it over for you though so if you need me to take a look and price it up let me know.
