    Default turbo refurb

    well lads im just wondering where or who does this and how much it costs,iv a t28 and theirs about 1mm of play in it but the car is fair smokey,turbo could be ok but im just wondering for future reference


    Also the car is smothering itself at idle and then when you pull second its coughing and spluttering and then goes,what would this be down to any ideas,the car in question is an sr20det 180sx redtop if that helps

    Maybe do it yourself there's a good guide on DW
    http://www.driftworks.com/forum/tech...t28-turbo.html

    I never did this myself but don't think it would be too hard, and you would only have to buy a rebuild kit just have to be really careful.

    Just an idea personally I'd try this when the time comes

    I've plenty of time now so I can do it for you for few bob, have done it before and it was running very well. However if the core is fucked due to excessive play (thrust bearing or oil seal completely gone mashing the core inside) then that's it.

    Have a t28 complete kit here and few housings (if yours is cracked) also if you want one, I'm based in Cashel co tipp

    The fact is what is it like when it works......
