I'm looking for a place to either have the stock turbo rebuilt, buy a newly rebuilt stocker, or an aftermarket turbo that is a direct replacement. Meaning I can reuse the stock manifold and downpipe and plumbing.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I've tried talking my brother (the msp owner) into aftermarket manifold and turbo, but he's not into it. Just need a good stock replacement.


thanks

99% direct swap, slight modifying needed. Wastegate actuator needs to be modified, and you'll need an intake reducer cuz the GT28RS has a larger intake opening.

No, it's not. There's a how-to on here somewhere.. I don't have time to look for it right now but I'm sure someone can link you to it.

I appreciate the replies. Damn! $700 just for a new center section!? Thats pretty expensive. You can buy a brand new Precision t3/t4 turbo for the same price.

Does anyone make a rebuild kit for the stocker?

I'm directly east of you on I75, I'll let you know if my brother decides to buy one. Maybe we can meet halfway.

What kind of shape is it in?

The stock msp turbo is a dual ball bearing unit. That is why the CHRA cost so much.

Oh, I see. Does anyone know what www.majesticturbo.com charges for a rebuild? I've found a few posts, that people on here have used them for rebuilds. I'm just waiting on an email back from them.

What does that even mean ? How can it have been boosted for 3k, and have 35k on it ?

The Garrett CHRA's have both the compressor and turbine wheels. You just bolt the housings on and put it back in.

Thanks Sam. I'm just doing the research for my lazy brother. In the end, he will make the decision on weather he wants to keep the paid off car and replace the turbo, or buy a new car.
