Default Where to get cheap CHRAs?

Looking just to get the CHRA.
Looking to find them cheap, but so far all i have found is one that is 987 dollars for a gt35.
However there is a vendor selling a whole gt35. for just 100 more.

Anyone know where to find them cheaper?

And this is the unfortunate downside of BB CHRA turbos...I'm not sure where to get them. I would contact whomever rebuilds turbos and see where they get the CHRA's from...

I bought one for a buddy of mine that smoked his GT35R on a 4G63. I paid 940 for it....I got it from the guys in my link. That is the bad thing about Garrett CHRA's.

We sell Garrett at some bargain basement prices, and that's a smoking deal

The price of a rebuild is really what steered me away from a GT-R series turbo. I would hate to buy an $1100 turbo and then if/when it needed to be rebuilt, i'd basically have to throw it away and drop another $1100 on another turbo. I'll stick to my S256...

Folks, in case you didn't know, we have a BB rebuilding program where the GT30/35 rebuild is somewhere around $400-$500. Check out our website w/ additional information on how to get your rebuilt Garrett GT-R CHRA: http://www.turbobygarrett.com/....html

Look on craigslist. I found mine right between discount heart surgery and "the boss is out of town sale" on a kidney transplant.

or not.

more than likely you would pay less or roughly the same with garrett's CHRA exchange program vs rebuilding a turbo, and you get a brand new chra not a rebuilt one. i think this program is a lot better than people think and not nearly as expensive as people make it out to be. you are looking at paying 450-500 dollars for a new chra for a 30 and 35r. this has been around for over a year. pm me if you have any questions about it.

for example, if the compressor wheel is damaged and didnt bend the shaft which would make any turbo unusable the chra can be replaced for a brand new one at a fair price thats a good deal if you ask me.
