Weaponxr Donating Members 624 Member For: 14y 20d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 15/02/11 09:00 AM Share Posted 15/02/11 09:00 AM I am wondering what prices I would be paying to recondition my turbo. I believe that its mainly the bearings that's noisy but the wheels arent hitting or anything. I have had a couple of quote to get it done which have ranged from $1600 to $2200. Are there any shops here that would look after us, etc.Anyway advice would be great.Im also considering getting the actuator and flapper done while its off the car, might as well.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively you can buy a GT35 less turbine housing for $1500.Regards................................6BOOST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swap your bits onto the core and your off again. Here is one on Ebay USA. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GARRETT-GT35R-GT3582R-BALL-BEARING-Turbo-Cartridge-PERF-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem19c31ad689QQitemZ110647498377QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories Edited 15/02/11 11:24 AM by Stazza_Brendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for a whole new turbo if only the bearings are stuffed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weaponxr Donating Members 624 Member For: 14y 20d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 15/02/11 12:02 PM Author Share Posted 15/02/11 12:02 PM Im pretty sure that a whole new cartidge is $1450 from some places here and in Australia and the ebay one is about $895USI took some numbers down of my turbo from what I could see, not sure which ones I need to look at but here goesJB 0328J3R239G438ADT23157-4I have heard that if im going to replace the cartridge then use the centre bearings from the FG model as they are more larger and heavier duty than the BA-BF ones, but you still use the wheels off the BF turbocharger.
