GT17 turbo

Replacing a Saab turbo, let me know if you have one. As fresh as possible, recently rebuilt would be great.

Re: GT17 turbo

Saab's came with GT series turbos? Damn swede's are ballers.

What's your dad doing with the old one and how bad is it?

I don't think they're ball bearing. Maybe, but I doubt it. They are ------- miniature though either way.

Yeah I think Murdoc or Rene was selling one of these if I remember. Couldn't imagine it would be ball bearing but who knows. For how much those damn saab's cost new it has to come with something good in it.

Re: GT17 turbo

Saabs came with various turbos, T25, TD04, GT17, maybe some others. It's not a ball bearing turbo.

The old one is in good shape, it just smokes on startup so a quick rebuild should be good. This place offers $100 for it as long as the wheels are in good shape.
