You can rebuild and even upgrade with it by the time you go through all that. Ask Lighteningteg on here. He did the same thing. Give him a PM

Sweet thanks... I already have the s cover.. the main think I was wondering if it would be better money wise to upgrade it when I have it rebuilt or just buy one of precisions new ones.. ive never had one rebuilt and was wondering for the money it would be better off buying a new one..

Heh. you missed the point. He didn't upgrade to an "S" cover at all. it rebuilt it completely with Garrett components, a custom compressor wheel, and it performed better than when it was new.

Cost of rebuild/upgrade depends upon your budget and goals of what you're doing. Just because you get a newer unit, doesn't necessarily mean that it was the better choice.

Mac's a good guy, I don't think you'll be dissappointed. Working on upgrading my system now that will sport my new turbo from him.

As I mentioned, you have a Turbonetics ceramic ball-bearing cartridge. your choices for rebuild locations will be slim. Its best to send back to Turbonetics directly in your case, or perhaps Precision which also uses a Ceramic ball-bearing cartridge of similar measurement.

Exactly. and Blaast can't work on ceramic ball-bearing cartridges, either.

More than someone. Been like that for years. Turnaround always starts off great, then they do the bare minimum, and BAM!! Problem after problem after problem

I typically don't talk about other shops and businesses in general online to the public without good cause (He who is w/o cast the first stone, right?). But in this case, I would avoid them...seriously.


Glad at least you had one good experience.
