Is it worth it?

[99turboSI]

Is a turbo rebuid worth it if it will only run me around $500? Or should I just look at buying a new one? Thanks

What brand turbo is it?

 

[got traction]

depends on the turbo, but considering this is clubcivic....its prob cheaper to replace your turbo.

doesn't a New one = a rebuilt one ?

 

[civic92si]

no, new is brand spanking new.

Its a Turbonetics t3/to4 57 trim with .63 a/r, in turn, its a Garrett. Anyone ever heard of Tim's Turbos from VA?

 

[civic92si]

uhh...just go get a new one... ive sold 2 turbontic turbo for like 30 buck each cuz it need rebuilt..still have my precision t3t4 need rebuild..

no, new is brand spanking new.

to me it is. after you rebuild the used one it becomes spanking brand new just like the "new" one that's already spanking brand new.

Wrong, because your compressor wheel will be old along with your shaft. now rebuilding it can be consider the bearing that need to be replace or just the seal. and new, is new compressor wheel, new shaft, new bearing, new exhaust housing and compressor

 

[Hecz]

right.

Id personally just go for the new one.
