OK well I'm pretty frusterated. I bought someones apexi turbo mani and DP. The fins are pretty damn chewed up and I want to have the turbo rebuilt. It is a IHI AX53B60 P18 (Apexi turbo kit for the SOHC). I took it to the local IHI distributor and they said they could not do anything becuase it was apexi's stuff and they have no idea what parts are used or how to get them.
Im guessing Apexi is going to try to to dick me over and make me get another turbo instead of being able to get the parts to rebuild mine.

Anyone know anyone in Apexi or someone that has a shop the distributes Apexi stuff that I can talk to and try to get this turbo rebuilt. I just dropped alot of money into this setup and now its looking as if it is not going to happen.

 

problem is, the turbines are prolly gonna cost more then a new one..


may i ask why u bought a turbo with chewed turbines?

 

Well I the guy said they were just a little chewed. I recieved the turbo and they are pretty bad I guess I should have been smarted and got good pics.

Ill probally just run this one until summer and buy antoher turbo

 

Just so you know a little chewed=no good turbo. If there is any blade damage it pretty much means the turbo is worthless as far as most of the turbos HMT members deal with.

 

Thats why I am trying to get it rebuilt. Im going to call the a IHI distributer monday and see if they can help me out.

 

think of the speed those lil wheels turn noe thow them out of balance.will last for a bit but eventualy it will either break the shaft or possibly a fin will break an get suck into the motor.Just my .02 worth
