Garrett T3/T04E rebuild kit, which seal do I need?
As I'm reading about rebuild kits, I notice there are 3 different types of seals, which must be matched to the original..
Do T3/T04E's use a dynamic seal? pic to show what I mean http://www.gpopshop.com/sealdiffweb.jpg |

are you getting it balanced again or throw it back together like it came apart?

It's probably dynamic seal. I'd pull it apart to be sure though.

The carbon seals aren't as common. They are mostly used in older stuff and for draw through carburetors.

You have to mark the shaft to the blades man, not to the housing

Bottom line is that if you want your turbo to be properly remanned; there are processes that have to be undertaken that you don't have the equipment for. The guys who use Ebay rebuild kits and don't check anything with calipers end up with turbos that fail miserably after a shot period of time or don't even work right from the start. Also, be careful of guys who consider a straightening a true balance. The backyard rebuild is definitely a game of Russian Roulette. |
