Anyone here rebuild turbo's?

Right. a mate's GSI turbo has packed in. Just removed the turbo and its had it. The compressor wheel has also eaten itself.

He dropped of the car with a replacment turbo he bought from eBay from a VXR. I have took this apart to inspect it and this is also knackered. lots of end float and the compressor has also eaten its self aswell.

The car is a 2002 Astra GSI turbo. Tried ringing a few places but there all shut.

Or i can rebuild the turbo but i will need to get it balanced up.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

rebuilding a turbo isn't difficult its the fact that you have to have them rebalanced when put back together





I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!
