Well i just say if the rear is damaged - why/how? Something must virtually have gone through the engine for that. Comp wheel a bit more common but turbine isn't.

Cartridge might be damaged, totally depends on what is actually stuffed and how :)

Cost - depends on the above.

Actually Ash I'm not so sure about the turbine being the harder part to get , the GT compressor wheels are actually modified spec big center section diesel turbo parts . By modified I mean they have a smaller bore hole through their centers so its not like you can top and tail a truck one and bolt it in .

I went through this years ago with Brett - trying to find ways of getting smaller trim comp wheels into GT3076R's and GT3582R's . Some of the truck turbos have the wheels I wanted but no one wanted to bush back the bore size to suit the GT25BB sized turbine shaft . In other words the appropriate wheels are unique to these BB cartridges .

If you can get in good with someone that mixes and matches BB turbo bits you stand a reasonable chance of getting some of their components .

The thing is that if the turbine has had a big lose it may have struck the inner bore of the cartridges bearing housing and damaged the section that the turbine end piston ring seal runs on . You really need someone who assesses these things to pull it down and say yay or nay . Once the turbine housing is off gutting the cartridge is a reasonably quick and simple operation - in other words not much labour time .

The trouble with damaged turbos is that you can end up with something that owes you nearly as much and sometimes more than a new cartridge or unit .

I more-so meant the turbine was harder to kill.

Being you have

1. Air filter

2. Comp Wheel

3. I/C

4. T/B

5. Motor body

And whatever else in the way - to mince a turbine wheel just raises questions in my book :)

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
