If we was to recondition the turbos ourselves where do we get the parts from and for how much? Also how much would it cost to have them balanced after?

Ebay often has rebuild kits, and someone did a good thread on this subject. Balancing seems to be the hard part. See here for some info http://www.vfaq.com/mods/Turbo-rebuild.html

yeah i have another link on here that shows shows the recon but it does say where to get the parts for the recon and also where the balancing can be done, but heres the link any way

If you can afford new, alway buy new ;)

trust me he wouldn't be thinking of recon if he could afford new. he talking about upgrading whole engine at later date but he has only just bought car so he short of cash at min (he a tad unlucky with this). still need to know where the parts can be obtained and who we could contact regarding the balancing. at the mo all he has is a faint whistle when the boost first cuts in then as revs increase the pitch ges higher and the sound is drounded out by the normal noise from engine, also there is very light smoke from right bank exhaust, or something, which he thinks may be related. as i said isn't to bad at min but he wants to arrange everything before hand. :D

Be ready to spend a lot of time doing it!!! trust me its an easyish job but the bushing retaners are a B1tch to get out and the new ones in without scratching the bearing surface.

ok mate am gunna do it at work. turbo techniques can balance them for me but i have one last question fbefore i undertake this job. what kind of penatrating oil should i use to on the turbine housing bolts. will WD40 do??? or is there another subtance i should obtain first. cheers

A bible maybe? ;)

yeah and some luck lol

Plus Gas or anything like that. The bolts have threadlock on them as well as rusting in place so they can be a right Cnut to remove.

 

If you need any more info just drop me a line.
