Re:how to rebuild a t3

kits range from 90-200$ (cdn) these rebuild kits are for oil seals, and dont include bearings. (depending on the rebuild kit u buy)

rip it apart its really easy.

Re:how to rebuild a t3

don't break the bolts off in the turbo when you do it... pain in the ***!

oh, put some anti-seeze on those ******* when you put it back together...

Re:how to rebuild a t3

If you disassemble the turbines the nut holding the air turbine will have to be retorqued(all the turbos have different specs)and the whole thing rebalanced.If you don`t do this it will not last very long. Spinning at 80,000 RPM the turbines will shake the bearings out in no time, the worst case I have seen the shaft snapped in half and destroyed the housing. My advice is get it rebuilt professionally.

Re:how to rebuild a t3

Best thing to do here is buy a new core for your turbo..
They are factory balanced / torked, e.t.c. you can find them on ebay and they ballpark around $125.00
