I'm looking for a new (larger) turbo for my 175. I've had a look on eBay and I can find a couple used, none new, but loads reconditioned for a small amount more. I've then seen that Garett don't recommend reconditioning as they claim no-one can get the tolerances required, and Google seems to support this conclusion (that a lot of the recons are rubbish). Any thoughts either way? Is a second hand turbo madness?
I'm running a rebuilt Garrett turbocharger with even aftermarket chinese wheel and runs great for the last 50k pushing over 2.2bar boost. A good shop can do it and balance it as well. Just make sure is really well balanced and they offer you a printout from the balancing machine. S. Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
Most of the turbochargers are rebuilt (when bought new) its only a questin how god the performed wokr is. I would go with a reconditioned one always over a used unknow state one Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
