Linx Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Has anyone tried one of these cheap repair kits you can get from Amazon and eBay? Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I looked into the cartridge options in preparation and would have an issue using one of the roller bearing types which were up for between 150 - 260 quid. I used the 270 and 360 non roller bearing kits years ago on my nissan 200sx and whilst prices have reduced somewhat today they seem a bargain at 25 - 50 quid I didn't get as long out of them as I wanted - getting the turbo off the nissan on my drive with the engine in situ was a proper ballache, really hard to get to the 3 downpipe bolts so was not best pleased when they failed but the main thing before you start a turbo rebuild is make sure you understand why it failed in the first place, normally oil starvation or bad heat up / cool down cycles boiling the oil off and address that first otherwise your investment will be short lived consider budgeting for new oil supply / return pipes at the same time (lesson learnt the expensive way) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
