Chris Wilson Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I am EXTREMELY reluctant to fit rebuilt turbos, even new ones are a nightmare as most sellers, Garrett GT series included, do not warrant them for none stock usage. I have had some costly dramas with rebuilt units. I now only fit turbos from registered Garrett, KKK, or other dealers, there are SO many fakes on Ebay. Chris, isn't the TO4Z a ball bearing tirbo? If it is there should be almost zero radial or axial play in the shaft. If you send it to a turbo rebuilder I can almost guarantee they tell you it's knackered. In 25 years I have never had one come back with a report saying "it's fine" One day I'll make a new one oily and send that in and see what happens Likewise I have never had a rebuilt turbo fail and it be bad machining, bad assembly, bad balancing, whatever. It's *ALWAYS* end user error, dirty oil, over boosting, blah blah. If a rebuilt unit fails it's not worth the carriage to send it back IMHO. Bitter? Me?

JamieP Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 CWhere can you buy a brand new HKS T04Z from and how much does it cost? How reliable is the rebuild? How hard is it to get it right? How muche does it cost to rebuild? SRD sells them, I'd upgrade to a gen2 precision if you are buying new though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
