hey, are you a distributor now for garrett parts?

I might end up just having this local guy rebuild it but I was wondering what price you have on a rebuild kit for my t3 super 60.

I think just swapping old with new. I might be underestimating him and he does balancing too but I doubt it.

I'm not too worried, it doesn't have much play I really think I screwed up the seals myself a while back because I had to unbolt some stuff to really tighten up the flange bolts and the oil leak slowly got worse after that.

hmmm. thats pretty expensive than for just swapping stuff.

the 150$ + shipping at the other place includes the following:

- Remanufacturing to new of all housings and impellers
- Complete inspection as per original requirements
- New bearings and seals (oversize as needed)
- Shaft straightening and polishing
- Balancing of the rotating assembly
- Pressure testing of the CHRA
- Re-assembly to original specs
- 6 months warranty coverage

The remanufacturing process includes the degreasing, gritblasting and polishing of your housings, brackets and impellers, including the machining flat of all flanges and the welding of turbine cracks when possible. Drilling & tapping of ONE broken stud or bolt is included. (each aditional is 10$ extra).
They use only 100% genuine GARRETT components.
High precision balancing performed with state of the Art Heins TC3 equippement.
