Build your own billet turbo

[Swampy442]

So Im assuming that a Billet turbo is so named because the compressor wheel is milled and machined from a single piece or billet of ally. Is it therefor reasonable to assume that you could construct your own Billet turbo if you could get the compressor? Obviously assuming a qualified business builds and balances it for you.

With the exception of dbb cartridges cores havent changed much for years so Id say its do-able. Any input?

Doable if you can stay within the tolerances.

But i don't know if you could make any improvement with your own wheel. Manufacturers spend much time testing the turbos for optimum flow etc. maybe the self made will last longer but i doubt it would give more Power or better spool.

Would love to build my own but my tools are limited, doubt i could do much with a drill, angle grinder and bloody big hammer:)

[Swampy442]

Lol I dont mean knock one up in your shed, just get a wheel from Precision or wherever, send it to get rebuilt et voila

[CanisLupus]

If cartridge(core) and wheel match, no Problem. Hybrid Twins are nothing else.

What are you planning?

[Swampy442]

Not planning anything mate, just asking questions. A new billet turbo is alot of money, I already have a T67dbb so was just wondering if it was possible

[CanisLupus]

Ah ok

If you can get the Parts individually it should be no Problem if you make sure everything fits and the whole Turbo is balanced afterward.
