Good place to hava turbo rebuilt?
 

I have an IHI SVO .60/.63 turbo that I would like to use on my A6. I doesn't really seem to have excessive play, but the inside of the turbine housing is soaked in oil.

I bought a turbo from Blaast before, but I sold it before I ever used it.

Unfortunately, I keep hearing some bad stuff about there service.

Any suggestions on places to send it out to?

I've always worked with Brian at Forced Performance. It's pricey, but not too much more and the work is second to none. Sometimes it's a bitch getting them to rebuild a turbo that's not one of theirs, but if you just have them do the full on reman that's about $400 they'll do pretty much any turbo. That's including shipping and a full rebuild with nothing left out including a dynamic balance.

$400 is steep though, so that's why sometimes it's not worth having a turbo rebuilt at all. I'd say going with the cheaper or less reputable shops would be worse than not having it rebuilt at all because you'll end up with a bad turbo you payed someone lots of cash to molest. Rebuilding a turbo isn't for rookies or basement wannabes. 100k+ rpm is no joke and ---- has to be just right or else it's worthless.

I been dealing with Blaast for years never had a problem with him at all. The main problem people have with him is shipping. Sometimes it takes a long time to get out of customs which his nothing to do with him.

Blaast or Blouche Turbo in PA

Re: Good place to hava turbo rebuilt?
 

Eh, most of the negative press is probably form people that don't know how to feed a turbo oil.

I'll probably end up sending it to him.

Just think now... You'll have a 400 dollar pocket -----. well not quite pocket sized, it will be a large chunk of worthless turbine wheel chewing, oil spewing garbage. But hey, you can still ---- it.

Re: Good place to hava turbo rebuilt?
 

Well then, why don't you dig up some dirt for me to read instead of trying to be a smart ass and failing miserably?

Bad personal experience or are you or are you just repeating what you lover tells you?

Re: Good place to hava turbo rebuilt?
 

believe me most of the guys on here play like they know but really its just bandwagon ----.. some have bad experiances and like 90% have perfect experiance like me.. shipping kind of sucks sometimes but don tdo the cheap ship route i shipped to him ups and back ups and i had absolutlely NO PROBLEMS!!. and i refer all my closest friends to him because his deals cant be beat and warrenty too.. plus if you have a sincere problem he will do everything he can to help where most people will say oh well guess you have to buy another one..

Ive got a buddy TONY whos the shop foreman at Alamo turbo locally y here in Kent. 150 buck rebuild as long as the shaft is okay....

he did the snail on my F setup, ran great. Not one issue.

Re: Good place to hava turbo rebuilt?
 

the ford 63/60 60 trim is the nicest factory turbo you can pick at the junk yard, it can support almost 300 hp as is.
....and IMO, that turbo is screaming: "upgrade me with a 400 hp T4 compressor" !!! :y (Yep, I can do it for cheaper than some peddlers will charge for just a rebuild. Why? because i don't subcontract it to another shop!! I'm the one actually doing it. as simple as that.)

your cheaoer cause your a ------- scammer jew bag !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Good place to hava turbo rebuilt?
 

I can get one done cheaper than blaast can... Like I said, My boy hooks it up. AS long as the shaft is good. Youre good.... I dont even want to start getting into ------ shipping and running around trying to get ---- done for the entire world, but if you are local to me (anyone) and need it done lmk.

Re: Good place to hava turbo rebuilt?
 

I might hit you up in for this in a few weeks ;)

Re: Good place to hava turbo rebuilt?
 

Is it possible to upgrade the compressor section on this turbo. I have seen kits that retain the Ford style housing, but as far as I know they are for the Garrett framed turbos only.

If so, how much would it cost?

Also, wouldn't the turbine become a bottle neck pretty quickly?


I am only going to shoot for about 250 to start out with, but a nice mid boost setup for 300 would be nice.

Needs more cam and beefier rods before anything else though.

:y

Re: Good place to hava turbo rebuilt?
 

Yes that's what I'm saying,
The turbine side will end up bottlenecking the exhaust flow but i saw fellows on here make up to 350 whp with them, which means, over 400 HP is possible on this small .63 stage 1 turbine. That's why it makes only good sense to install on them a compressor that's able of 400HP. T04e 57 trim and t04b v trim are the most sommon choices.

Re: Good place to hava turbo rebuilt?
 

Just returned you PM before I read this response.

Can you give an idea what this might cost?

Re: Good place to hava turbo rebuilt?
 

I'd send any of my turbos to Blaast any day of the week. Oh wait I already do. One really positive thing I can say about him is that unlike some other turbo rebuilders he stands behind his work.

even if it gets fucked up

Re: Good place to hava turbo rebuilt?
 

Oh man, I'm local to you and I need a Turbo rebuild. I just want the minor rebuild done, so new bearings, seals, and o-rings. The turbo spins freely and there isn't any damage to the wheels, but the little bit of shaft play is killing me trying to get a good price for it. It's runnable as it sits, but has shaft play. If I could get that taken care of for $150 I may do that as selling a $1500 turbo for $400 is ruining me. I could get $800 at least out of it with a freshening up, so it would be great if you could point me in his direction. Thanks man.
