Who Can Rebuild My Greddy Turbos?

[blue_vl_t]

As stated, I have a seized trust greddy t517z turbo that is close to new.

I think gcg do them, but I'm assuming they will also be the most expensive.

I live in Tasmania so will be posting regardless I think.

I'm open to suggestions, cheers

Hyper gear look good, cheers

I generally do everything myself, including engine builds and tuning.

but have always thought, automatic transmissions and turbos are for the people with the correct tools and know how, correct me if I'm wrong.

DO NOT DIY!!!!!

You could assemble it yourself with that kit if you could find the tolerances, but you would still have to pay for the VSR balancing. Easier to just give it to Stao and have him build, balance and warrant it. Sometimes, when the turbo seizes in operation it will twist the shaft and require replacement.

He could also modify the thrust washer for less friction or enlarge the wastegate and puck if internal gate, and if you want more from it add a billet compressor wheel.

Why did the first turbo seize?

I wouldn't recommend trying to assemble a small high speed turbo chra yourself....

You can't really enlarge the wastegate 'hole' and puck... it swings the wrong way and will foul. already looked at it.

I rebuilt my engine and valve body a few months ago, what makes you think a turbo would be difficult? I have a lathe here to machine the housings for highflow and a milling machine for the wastegate. Anything is possible with ingenuity.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone without a mechanical background... Just have a chat with Hypergear.
