Default turbo rebuild

Anybody know where I can get the T25 off my MSP rebuilt? I know I don't have much longer before it craps out. I'd rather get it rebuilt locally so I don't have to ship it off somewhere and wait even longer to get it back.
Thanks!
Brad

Yeah, but its ball bearing. Heard its not easy to do so I'm not comfortable doing it myself. I haven't had a chance to check for shaft play yet. Oil leak is a definite though. Got pretty bad buildup on the hot side.

there is a guy or two in tampa that does them.

i use extremeturboshop.com they are out here in lakeland, 863-647-3700

they did a good job rebuilding a turbo of mine about 2 yrs ago.


just FYI, you cannot rebuild a ball-bearing CHRA (center housing rotating assembly). so don't expect it to be cheap because you will basically be buying a whole new turbo, just without the compressor and turbine housings. it may be in your best interests to find another used turbo or buy new.

oh damn. Didn't want to hear that. Well I've found some turbos for sale, just didn't want to spend a ton of money. Guess I will be either way. Thanks for the info guys.
