Default T3 Turbo rebuild/hybrid

Has anyone done this themselves?

Basically ive got a knackered T3 turbo and wanted to know who has rebuilt one or even upgraded it?

If you have, how did you find it? Where did you get parts from?

All the usual questions

Cheers

is there any play in the shaft in and out???

Easy to do, parts are cheap and do the job..... can get shaft and wheel balanced for £30 inc return post.

anything over 15psi 360 a must, but if its a turbo you intend pushing past its limits then dont bother doing it yourself as even a pro job would be 100% reliable... Cleanliness and inspecting of parts are the most important parts...

Hear this so much....who are you going to balance it !!!!!!!!!!! as if you shouldn't dare be considering rebuilding yourself.
Well send the core to Turbo Technics for a balance once you've rebuilt the core and get a propoer 100,000rpm balance, £45 including return delivery.
