Man i want that turbo off ebay but the guy says the previous owner pulled the turbine and now its not ballenced, he will give a new turbine with it.

Does anyone know how much it would cost to balance a turbo?

 

like i said, its a ford 5 bolt pattern

 

Remember there are 2 different styles of 5 bolt t3 flange that look completely identicle, one is just slightly smaller than the other. They say its the "ford" style, however I have pulled off turbos straight from the junkyard that were fords and worked perfectly on saabs. But I do have some odd ball T3/5 bolt housings floating around in the shop that are like about 5mm larger (all the way around) that do not fit anything else. I still have no idea why/what they were made for

 

im going through this right now as well, i bought my "remanufactured" .48/.60 garret t3 off e bay and a standard t3 dp flange does not fit, mine is the same shape/pattern only its larger than the standard t3 flange so im making a flange from scrap right now

 

MERCEDES.... HOW MANY TIMES NUST I SAY IT..... DOWN2TURBO USES THE MERCEDES 5 BOLT PATTERN...........TYPERT SELLS THE CORRECT FLANGE......

 

english ----------er, do you speak it?

on a side note i do believe he is correct.

ps - your capslock is on.
