SSAC "Super T70" fresh reman hotness!!!
 
Just got the word from the rebuilder:


Note: Joseph,

Least I can say, this was not an easy rebuild.
Shaft was bent, balancing way out of wack and the damn thing didn't
want to get back together without some sanding of the shaft that was out
of tolerance and still would not slide-in like a decent garrett turbo.
Thrust plate is not bolted down or held by anything and oiling paths are
very poor. THis is definitely NOT a performance turbo. I'm sure it will
work fine now but god only knows for how long?? reusing it is asking for
trouble in the long run IMO.
------- awesome! SSAC for teh win! YES!

So how was this before the rebuild? Couldn't they say the same thing if I brought in some toasted out snail?

1000-1500 miles or so on it, light shaft play with no thrust play, passed significant quantities of oil. Bearings were also coked up a bit.

I trust the guy. It's not like he's charging me a lot of money for the reman or trying to offer to sell me "something better" in a bait & switch maneuver.

Itll never happen. Just like anything a few can work fine hell you still see a pinto on the road here and there doesnt mean they were ever worth anything

FYI, the center sections of the XS Power turbo's are KKK K26/K27's, but then again, your turbo guy should have known this when he used a correct rebuild kit on it

so i guess KKK's are junk then too :S

How can the center section be KKK turbos, when Garrett turbine housings fit onto them?

::)

It's one-off chinese copycat swill.

because the housings are not garrett, they are a copy of a garrett that has been matched to fit on the K26/27 center section.


look at a rebuild kit spec sheet/assembly sheet for a K26/K27 and look at one for a T3 or T4. you will see that the compressor backing plates are attached to the center sections int a totally different way, and you will then notice that the XS Power turbo uses the K26/K27 centers and backing plate.

the SPECS of the wheel and housing are equivilent to the garrett
