hey guys i bought a second hand t3 on a bit of a gamble and its in need of a rebuild due to to much shaft pla. ive only rang one place so far. eastern turbochargers and there price for a stock rebuild was $810 does this sound right or should i keep ringing around and can anyone recommend a place in Melbourne

I think JPC still do turbos in their shop, maybe call them?

do it yourself mate, its fairly easy.. eastern turbochargers sell the rebuild kit for around $180 or you can get them off Ebay cheaper than that..

yer not to sure i could do it . plus doesn't it needed to be balanced ???

yer i had a good read through it. might give it a go.cant seem to find the right rebuild kit on ebay.

I just bought a turbo kit with a rebuilt and hi flowed t3 with a recite from 2 years ago... VL Turbo T3 Garret Turbo o/haul Turbo hiflow T/wheel C/wheel Both hsgs machined out to suit $1200

will this kit suit http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....keT rack=true (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120514512213&fromMakeTrack=true)

Even if you brought the kit you'll need to have the turbo balanced. Maybe have a chat with ATP & see if they balance your turbo with a e-bay rebuild kit. http://www.atpturbo.com.au/ATP_Turbo...ing/index.html (http://www.atpturbo.com.au/ATP_Turbo_Balancing/index.html)

go into sponsors section. look for "hypergear" they rebuild turbos

well ive bit the bullet and taken the turbo to work and stripped it down. seems fairly basic. both turbine wheels are in good nick no chips or missing bits.only thing im not sure is when i removed the compressor housing there is a gasket that has gone britle and is not res useable do theses come with the rebuild kit

JPC highflow range from $1350 to around $2500ish

kool bro

Was there any marks on the housings like its been scraping ? Cause turbos do have a decent amount of end float .

no couldn't see any marks on either compressor or exhaust housings. so lucky thing

eastern turbochargers OK HERE'S my story.. i done mine in 2007 at eastern turbochargers in bayswater. everything changed on it except for the front snail all acid cleaned what eva . basically a stock t3. but with a better rear exhaust snail. ( since my turbo **** itself. some how over boosted. IE: this is the turbo BRESCIANI INSTALLED ) eastern turbochargers told me if i wanted to hiflow it latter i didn't have to get a better rear house snail bit. since it was changed. and i would just only need to change the turbine wheel and machined out to suit the t3/t4 wheel don't know if i got ripped off or not .....? ( mind you i got all the OLD parts in a box still in the shed on what he changed if you guys want a pic ) I PAIED $ 2160 dollars 5 years ago sill got the paper sorry champ if i bugged ya thread...
