I am starting to have side to side play in my turbo so I want to get it rebuilt,,,,,
I was told that they only sell the sealed bearing cartrige for my model turbo and its 1400$ CA to get new bearings....

Is this tru? at that cost I should just buy a percision sc61

any suggestions??
thanks

I believe they rebuild Garrett GT turbos... not sure about the prices though. I have a Garrett GT25R, and mine has the beginnings of side to side play in the shaft. I'm not worried about it for now though...

UP for a fellow Canadian

 

Damn what did you do get play in one of those turbos there meant to be extremely reliable... You could by a brand new one for that price.

 

Maybe I don't know what's normal... I'm still kind of new to the whole FI picture... that's why I'm not worrying about if for now. People don't really know too much about these turbos... either that or they're reluctant to share info with newbs like me.

 

as long as the blades dont hit the housing youre alright

Well I'm good then!

 

ya it dosent hit the housing at all,,, but i dont like the fact that it moves slightly side to side

what percision turbo compares to my GT30???

probably 90% of the turbos I've seen have some side to side play, it's pretty normal, like was said above, when the wheel starts rubbing the housing it's time for a rebuild.

 

some side to side play is normal....in and out play is bad

 

ya thats what i mean in and out,, like going from the exhaust to the intake side!

 

it might worry ya, but i had the same thing with my gt garret turbo, and a few mates had the same.

i think its just the way that the dual ball bearings work...

 

That's pretty common.. you're fine...

 

sweet.
