rebuilding a turbo.
 

I just got scammed on a tdo5hr turbo. It has some considerable shaft play. the fins are just a hair from touching the sides.
Is their any way I can just get new bearings for it and replace them myself?

I'm actually thinking about doing it. His name is Kurt Smith and he lives in Livonia, Michigan.
I paid him 250 for this piece of ----. Ive looked into it. It costs $330 on average to get one rebuilt.

you gt diked for that tdo5, buy one of the ebay rebuild kits for 80 bux n give it a try

Re: rebuilding a turbo.
 

Do those kits acually work well? I just got on ebay and found one. Wouldn't I have to get the turbo balanced after I change the seals and bearings.

probably, ive done a few without balancing, they worked lol... i jus mark the nut with a marker n re-tighten it back to that mark after i use all the new ----. worth a short, or jus buy another turbo =x

ive rebuilt my own myself. it seems to be working, but i dont trust it yet. blaast performance rebuilds them for $125, send it to them
