turbo rebuilt

[JDM87]

i want to get my turbo rebuilt soon...anyone know of anywhere that does it? And how much they charge?

[Loserkidwac]

Heard a lot of good things about www.blaastperformance.com

E-mail them but i think there prices are really really cheap like $120 or so for a T3...I highly recomend them

[Intercooled T]

wow....why are those prices so cheap? don't sound right to me...

[Loserkidwac]

I honestly couldn't tell you but they do really good work and have never heard anything bad about them, they have decen prices for new turbos too...I think they are located in Canada soo you have to pay a little more for shipping but its still a hell of a lot cheaper...

[JDM87]

hopefully its not in canadian...ha but thanks for the info. Ill be giving them a call just to see whats what. Seems legitt though so thanks

[Intercooled T]

oh....ok...and turbos aren't light, so I'm assuming that the shipping adds up, especially being in canada....thx

[Loserkidwac]

cost me about $20-$30 to ship a turbo not to bad and canada is usually a few bucks more...Blaast Knows his $hit too, he will be very helpful to you...i will be getting my next turbo from them..

I think most places charge atleast $300+ for a rebuild...which puts it a little less than buying a new turbo...I've rebuilt seals and bearings on a turbo but honestly you have to have someone balance it still and thats where they will charge you since you need the machine to be able to do it...

when I wanted the stock turbo rebuilt on my Grand National, it was about $429 + shipping. To get converted to a bigger exhaust housing was an additional $300....so yea, that's pretty cheep!

www.turbo-concepts.com They rebuilt mine along with some other stuff no problems what so ever with it. Not sure on how much the rebuild cost I had a bunch of other things done at the same time

well blast has some other services to that i like so they definitally have my vote now. Other than that i heard there was a place in pa that rebuilds turbos for 250 but i forget the name of the place.

[Loserkidwac]

Did you end up sending it to blaast?

[JDM87]

not yet...my car is going to be getting painted so when its there thats when ill be sending out the turbo

[Loserkidwac]

Oh cool, I was just reading a post on another forum...a guy had 2 turbos blow sent one to blaast for a rebuild installed it and blew shorly after...the reason was the return was to small and blaast honored the warrenty rebuild even though it was "user error" and they weren't resonsable for the failure...

cliff notes: Blaast has awesome costumer service

ya i was reading on blaast's site that they have their own warranty so any questions i had in sending it were answered after seeing that...once i get closer to the paint date ill call and talk to who ever is there and get more information but it will be sent regardless
