[toy515]

hey guys i need help ive got 2 x greddy td05h 18g turbos and they are both in need of a rebuild. im not very smart when it comes to greddy/mitsubishi turbos td series ive been quoted roughly 1500 to rebuild both but ive found these cartridges on ebay for alot cheaper are they any good or has anyone bought one?

let me know what you guys think

$500 for the cart, then $200 for assembly/balancing/labour.

You MUST get it done by a professional, it's not something you can do in your backyard. So $1500 is about right once you add in the other costs... It's not just a case of a cartridge and you are done.

no i understand that im just wondering if those carts are any good?

Who knows!??!?! The fact that its a performance application means i would want to be sure it has 360 thrust bearings etc unlike some of the cheaper std prod car 270deg stuff. I suppose there is only one way to find out....but its a risk. The billet turbo guys claims to be able to re do the Greddy turbos with water cooler, ball bearing centres. I have a spare TD06-20G that was ear marked to have this done.

the rebuild price you have been quoted seems a bit on the high side for 2 plain bearing turbos to me but not far off the mark. I would expect around 12-1300 if the wheels are ok. If you are in sydney try fred at turbologic (port kembla) as he has a lot of experience with the mitsu gear. Also precision at wetherill park is worth a go.

That 2-300 is worth paying as you have local warranty/support.

If you had a shagged comp or turbine it may be worth looking at the ebay turbo. It'll be equivalent to something like hypergear over here except using mitsubishi catalogue bits. For some reason we pay a ridiculous premium on mitsu turbo bits over here.

Not sure what nismoids getting at. buy a cart, it's already balanced, swap on turbine and comp housing (in your back yard even). If you had to pay someone to put the housings on i'd be pretty cheap ~50 a turbo as it really is a 20 minute job.

be careful with these i have had a few customers through (done by large well known performance turbo reman guys) and the cars were never able to match the old numbers.... We had them pulled down and it seem they also used garret wheels (whole garret core) and machined the housing to suit. In these instances the turbos where inferior...... just made a cool spool down noise on shut down

I wouldn't trust an unknown company... so i would be getting it rebalanced/checked over here anyway TBH.

Too many people buy stuff over ebay and it comes poorly balanced and so on.

And then x2 that... just to risky for me personally.

i got a couple more quotes startign prices of 800 each!!! seems very high they were from mtq and gcg

Hi,

it comes with MHI bearing housing, compressor wheel, turbine wheel and KAMAK performance thrust bearing kit the strongest kit in the world.

we assembled this CHRA on our Schenck 110 VSR machine.

It is stronger than Greddy one

thats what they said about the item above on ebay?

[Adriano]

Try gt pumps, he rebuilt my tdo5-19g, for a very reasonable price with a new exhaust wheel.

how much did he charge for the one if you dont mind me asking?

[dori34]

have u tried hypergear?

[SABBAi]

Being a Mitsu turbo, it should be cheap to get them done, considering you can pick up new CHRA's for under $1000. $500 to fit housings sounds like bollocks to me....

I've had dealings with MTQ and them seem pretty well priced for what I've had.

Also keep in mind that most shops won't give an accurate qoute without eyeballing the turbo.

ive used thier gear but cant say much at this stage, i havent got enough time on the gear to know if its gonna last but i I am testing 2 of their turbos for reliability as we speak and ive used their CHRA's without any dramas so far.

nah its not.

if any one has any greddy td05s or know anyone with one or a pair please let me know im finding it very hard to find a pair

[NXTIME]

as mentioned before, give GTpumps a call...

[toy515]

gave them a call but he never called me back and i think im sending the turbos back and getting my money back.

so now im looking for another set
