i know this is asked alot, but is there a local place to do a rebuild?
my turbo has been fine, but my manifold cracked. so this weekend i pulled it off to clean the housing, since there is some small traces of oil and gunk (pcv/vale cover vent runs to intake pipe w/o a catch can), and discovered this:
yup. pretty shitty. anyways, the turbo has no shaft play and is within specs there. all i really need is a new turbine wheel, which will require a balancing, and while im at it, i might as well get it rebuilt with new seals. it is journal bearing.
i'd like to try and get it done locally, as im not the slightest idea where to ship it off to. the compressor wheel seems fine, and i'd like to keep this unless buying a new one is worth it.
any answers appreciated, thanks.
ps specs of it now:
TO4E compressor
.60 a/r housing
50 trim wheel
Journal bearing CHRA - oil cooled only
T3 turbine
.63 a/r housing
Stage 2 wheel (This is assumed, as a friend says it doesn't look like Stage 3 --- if it turns out this way, i also want to opt for Stage 3 wheel)
