Recommendations For Rebuilding A Turbo

[Mr-Toy33]

Need to get my turbo rebuilt as it has the inpropella fan rubbing up against the housing and making a squealing noise at 4,500RPM and higher.

I'm wanting to get the turbo rebuilt and high flowed to get that bit more power out of it. Just wondering what people's recommendations are in terms of which workshop you would recommend to get this done at?

So far, I've sourced from

- Hardcore racing (quoted approximately $1,500).

- Mercury Motorsports (quoted approximately $1,700).

- Millennium Motorsports (quoted approximately $1,500).

That all includes labour, rebuilding of the turbo and also high flowing the turbo as well.

Any other recommendations would be appreciated and I'll source quotes from them as I'm wanting to put the car in first thing next week.

Thanks in advance for any help given.

might be cheaper from mercury if your a member.

chaos is right, mercury are a sau-qld sponsor and do offer discounts to members, they also have done work on many of the skylines belonging to members of the forums and the club.

otherwise id go to hardcore, but personally mercury would be my pick

GCG???

[Mr-Toy33]

GCG is what?

If a business, where abouts are they located?

[BelGarion]

gcg do turbo rebuilds and highflows

however unless your planning on fitting the turbo yourself then your probably better off geting a workshop to do it, less hassle, no dirty hands and someone to point the finger at if something goes wrong during the instalation

Ask where all the workshops are sending the turbo.

Id be looking at taking it to Mike Vine. He knows his stuff.

[Mr-Toy33]

Any other recommendations as to who I should use to have my turbo rebuilt and high flowed? or reviews on the ones that i've mentioned in regards to good and bad things about them?

I need to book the car in either tomorrow or thursday to have it put in next week!

MR turbo aparently is good ( was told this for my turbo rebuild) ,

GCG have a good reputation, but for being in sydney and me on gold coast, i think mr turbo will do.

Mike Vine isn't bad for a washing machine repairer. MR Turbo has a good backyard operation going on. GCG will give you a certified 400hp rated highflow but machine the housing so thin it will melt in under 18 months and then say it's your fault.

In answer to your SMS....visit www.pwr.com.au. The intercoolers there have the inlet and outlet on the same side and are a lot easier to install.

Plus they are around $850 for a 600X350X100

I can still help you out with the turbo if you like but all up it's going to be around $1800 inc. labour.

Iv seen some some of the best work in brisbane done by mike vine plus he does the highflow work but he is a bit more expensive.
