I've decided to try and ave some money and refurb my turbo's. Been phoning round like crazy trying to get prices for repair kits, when I find this little chesnut

 

Rebuil Kit

 

Thought it was quite a bargain. So I bought 4. Will let you all know how it goes.

See if you can get a step gap rear piston ring as well.

 

I usually use melett btw and order the half kit.

 

But pmsl @ buying 4 :D

Spoke to Melett they were very helpful and will sell me those piston rings for £2.68 each so was gonna buy em any ways. But this kit allows me to upgrade the thrust bearing to a 360 degree one. Melett do the same kit but for £110, so for $295 inc shipping I get 4 kits for just over the price of one kit from Melett. I'm looking to buy a second hand set of turbos from someone. Refurb em myself, so if I *****x something up I'm not completely f**ked and if all goes well I should have a spare set of turbo's in case the worst happens or decide to sell. That was my thinking anyways. $65 for the set is peanuts. There is 6 more left after my purchase so if anyone else is thinking of doing their tubs themselves, its an absolute bargain. We could have a group therapy turbo refurb session. :rofl:

Hehe, well good luck. It's not difficult, just take your time and be patient getting those pesky circlips in place properly. You'll see ;)
