AZ Other Turbos?

Are there any other turbo chargers that will mount up to the Greddy kit?

yep sure do. I was told about you by some people on the forum. I actually sent you an email on your greddy upgrade email account. I have some issues with my turbo on my car and from what the shop told me the turbo is no good. It was brand new.... I figured if greddy wants to charge $2000 dollars for another turbo i would just go with your upgrade. Im not even sure if the shop hooked it up right.

If its new, it probably isn't bad.
Why don't you bring it by. We'll take a look at it.

The turbo can also be rebuilt too, we've done a few. Not expensive at all...

Yeah, totally.

I haven't done one in a while, but I think I was paying about $12 for the bearing set from Joel over at AZ T&T.

I still have a hard time believing that the turbo is blown, though. It was new.

I was thinking the same thing! It was brand new. I dont know enough about these cars or this kit yet to know if anything that they did was wrong. I would like to have the turbo rebuilt if it is no good. Is it somthing that I should have done or is it somthing that can be done at home?

Well, before you start contemplating a rebuild, let's see if the installer just did something dumb.

"Free time"? lol
No such thing. I forget to eat sometimes.

Contact Charles R. Hill here on the forum (BHR). He will set something up.
