View Full Version : Turbo Rebuild?
Hi guys,
where in the republic can you go to get a turbo rebuilt?
how much to get a roller baring t28 rebuilt do you think?
cheers
Just done a quick search on Google and nothing came up in Ireland:no: . You might try Tightrope (TTM) they may be able to help you, or call any other tunning place. Other than that you may have to send it to the UK:(
no prob.
its not urgent. might make a few calls later.
mate has a t28 that went tits up, so i am just looking into cost of a rebuild, might take it off him cheap if its worth it.

AFAIK roller bearing core turbos can't be rebuilt(depending on what damage is done). There is someone in portlaoise that rebuilds turbos, can't remember hi name but he is in the golden pages

Found it
Portlaoise Auto Services
Dublin Rd Portlaoise Laois (0502)20514
He even has the equipment to balance turbo's after rebuilding them
I was gonna say it'd be probally cheaper to get a new one. I know where there's one for sale in Dublin Area if you want..
just seen the thread, the lad in portlaoise is good has done turbos for some of the lad i know, if it can't be fixed he might have something there that might do,
Are turbos blowing a common occurrence or something?!? :confused: What on earth are people doing ot them to blow them up??! :eek:

sorry, not taking the piss out of you... just very cheap price. normaly a US crowd on ebay that go by the name SS autochorme or XS Power are thne only crowd that sell them that cheap.
i know i fella who got a t28 roller baring turbo off them.... it lasted 10 minutes at only 11psi. the irish replacement cost a fair bit more.....

jamie... what is wrong with your exsisting turbo? certainly nothing when i drove your car anyways:rolleyes: :ghey:
what are your plans power wise?
if you are going for a different turbo just buy a t28r of bren.... it will cost the same as a rebuilt one anyways...
arent you supossed to be selling up...:wack:
still thinking of selling. but thinking of other options 2..... you know, covering all the angles and shit :ghey:
never said i wanted to sell. just that once we start repaying the mortgage (7 weeks and counting) i wont be able to afford to just replace a turbo if and when it goes.....
sure you know me, can never decide on anything to the last second.

people people, having richie on one shoulder telling me to do things wasnt so bad, because i normaly had myself on the other telling me not to. now on have irishpaddy still on one shoulder and jp on the other.... oh dear.....
so HYPOTHETICAL here.....
with my current spec of
Organic clutch
Jun Flywheel
HKS intercooler
HKS induction kit
Adjustable actuator
HKS FCD + FPR and Unichip
Blitz R Nur Spec
Stainless Turbo elbow
Decatted
HKS SSQV dumpvalve
all i need to push for more bhp atm is a turbo, injectors and cams (since the unichip should be sufficient for now as its programmable and mean i dont need something like a power fc?)
u shouldn't need cams just yet depending on what power your going for.
if your going for 330 plus i think you'll need a z32 afm. best looking at the power thread at the top of the s14 tech section ;)

yup, the wobble is all gone. when i got the new rubber he balanced them againa and all is good.
will do my best to check the spacers, might be a day or 2.
