ok, i just got this turbo off ebay,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7985763203
i just need some info on it, it needs to be rebuilt, where can i get a rebuild kit for it, adn what adapter plate do i use? just a regular T3 one?
any info will be nice to have.

 

most volvo t3 turbos have a metal tag on the back of the compressor plate. what is stamped there? that could be used to find what it came off of.
that turbo looks in bad shape. bent fins, stuck wheel, and a lot of rust.
good luck.

 

not worth your time.

 

humm. ok thanks anyway, i guess when i get it i will see why its stuck, and maybe resell it.

 

Sweet paperweight


a rebuild kit is around 75-100 bucks, but since the center section is frozen it will probably need both the wheels to be cleaned and then rebalanced. Better off finding another turbo.

 

well when i get it i will pull it apart to see whats wrong with it. hope its not compleate junk...

 

I got a Chrysler T3 from the same seller and it's complete junk. It spins, but the compressor wheel scrapes the housing, there's no O2 housing (the auction said there was one) and one of the coolant ports has the casting broken away. I'm still waiting to see if he's gonna do anything about it...

 

damn it... oh well, maybe i should just "not" pay for it.

 

another dead beat bidder! .. lol just playin

 

The guy that bought that sells these turbos on ebay is stupid. He is selling turbos right now that are all locked up and broken. I guess he likes to sell cheap turbo that don't work. I love it how in the description, he says the turbo is beautiful, but locked up. Go away with that ----.
