depends what the turbo needs, just bearings & seals then around £200-250, after that it must have a good shaft, ie no wear, scores of bearing transfer, same for the bearing housing, wheels must not be rubbed of have bent blades, cracks in turbine housing?

how long is a piece of string , all depends what is wrong with the unit, my guess it'll be "oil contamination" classic term used by 90% of turbo rebuilders it will be expensive then

I had mine rebuilt at turbo technics for 400quid, that included pick up the unit, new 360 bearings, some machineing, new -31 and drop back to my house in a record 2 days. hey rung me before they worked on the unit and i was well impressed with the service.

Highly recomend them

minimum 200 quid IMO, and i know opinions vary, but i would get it balanced and insist on having it balanced

some people say that if its just seals you are replacing you dont need it balanced

dont send it to GB Solutions, use a trusted rebuilder. CR Turbo´s, Turbo Technics and the like
