Cgc Turbo Rebuild Cost

[WogsRus]

hi guys a turbo is up for sale but has a leaking seal, how much for a rebuild.

Its an Rb25 highflow unit. Can you buy rebuild kist and do it yourself????

just an estimate?

Don't waste your money.

Have your own turbo high flowed, or buy another used standard turbo and high flow that.

Buying a blown turbo thats already been high flowed is going backwards.

mmm... depends whats wrong with it.

If its just done a cartridge/bearings. Then no worries, as rebuild should be around $1000-1200.

And then sell of your existing turbo and it'll cost you $800-$1000 for whats normally a $1700 turbo

However, when it failed, if its gone onto destroy wheels & eat away at housings etc. Then your better off using the one you have.

Funny you should ask, i called Michael today.

Don't need it but was just interested.

I mentioned it was already an RB25/GCG high flow blowing smoke.

Worst case was $1200 and best case was $700.

A definate possibilty if that's what you are after.

If it's just the seals then $700.

You can't rebuild it yourself.
