it will cost you a bit to rebuild them. 600 is a low offer for n1 turbos

they are still running fine and producing power how much do you think they are worth

[R31Nismoid]

Well considering one is leaking, and generally you wouldnt rebuild one, you'd do both at the same time..

$600 is fair IMO.

It'll cost you almost double that to rebuild the pair id imagine if not more

new oil seals, check bearings and balance about $500 ea. If you need new bearings as well add another 500ea. They are worth about $2kea new.

But, they are not really a good turbo. Useful for some poor bastard (like me) who has to run standard 32 n1s because of race rules, but the 34 n1 or 2860s are much better for most uses

IN GOOD CONDITIONS DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH BOOST THEY ARE GOOD FOR

[Duncan]

nope. I run them at standard boost, 12psi.

Presumably they are good for more boost than most engines can take - at least 18psi and probably 21-24.

[Bumblebee]

apparently they ran over 30psi while racing.. so i guess they have a heap of potential
