Well, I have just heard my turbo go pop the other day and needed to know what my options are for getting it fixed.

My car is an r33 gtst and I was looking at one of the following:

1. hi flow / rebuild my turbo (machine housing, steel wheels etc) - $800

2. reconditioned VG30 turbo - $1400

3. aftermarket turbo - $2000 +

I was looking at going for a hi-flow / rebuild of my turbo to fix it as this is a fairly reasonable price. Is this a good option? Is there anything I should look out for?

Is there anything i need to know before I do this? Do I hav to tell them any spec's I want?

In the end I was hoping to have something that will give me around 200 - 220 rwkw's with an SAFC, exhaust and r34 gtt intercooler.

No way will you get a ball bearing turbo rebuilt for 800 with new wheels, core and associated balancing, machining etc. If it was a plain bearing turbo it'd be a good price.

Closer to 1800 unless you know someone I don't :cool:

Second hand r33 turbo will set you back 5-600 if you can find one for private sale.

      Curious if you've discussed this with them, maybe they can remove it for you since you requested it not to be coated.

      Grind them off, drill them out. Repair any rust on the other side. Start again from scratch.
