turbo rebuild kits

**skin** · 31-08-2011, 09:05 PM

Hey guys looking at rebuilding my turbo

Its a garrett t04s but all the kits i find for these have a different looking thrust plate
The part numbers on the turbo return absolutley nothing and its starting to get very frustrating.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience in this area and could tell me a good place to get hold of the right one

Just in case it helps, here is my thrust plate

most kits i find look like this one

Email turbotech, gcg, or whoever is closest to you.

I always walk into turbotech with, "I need this", guy goes out the back and comes back with the right thing a few minutes later. So much quicker than trawling ebay/net for hours.

Get bearings too. T04 bearings are only 5.72 each at turbotech.

Went to a local turbo shop today turns out some one has don't some custom work to fit a 360 deg thrust bearing

Just gotta get a t04b or e kit and it will work

the idea that Tasmania has a "local turbo shop" is a bit weird to me

Did the guy tell you what that thrust bearing is out of? Doesn't look at all like a T04 thrust bearing or maybe I'm thinking of something else.

Na he said it's very unusual but told me it it hadn't been drilled to take 360 bearing a to4 270 deg would have worked fine
Which to me says That a normal to4 360 thrust will work.
He didn't want to help me cause he wanted to sell me a gt40 he had in stock lol
