So it looks if the guy that gave me the verbal quote were abit optimistic.

They done a repair kit that got all the bearings and seals in.
Exchanged my compressor wheel as it had some damage to the fins.
Pressure test.
High speed balancing.
And very high labour - if your specialised you could probably charge what you feel like.

Invoice attached


But now installing with a turbo protector just for the peace of mind...Image

Glad you sorted. I did not give you an earfull. I asked that becuase you kept on wondering about things in the engine rebuild. If it was done right and you were sure and confident of that you should not have been asking those questions.

It's hectic but it's at least a company I trust and have a warranty on their work.

Think I need to start fixing turbo's. Look like a good career Image
