First and foremost. This is not a "Howto" thread. This is a work log documenting what I did. If you try it and it doesn't work, it's not my fault. Nor is it the fault of anyone that contributes to this thread. You take responsibility for everything you do.
I've got two of these turbos and they both have over 100k on them. My skill level is novice garage mechanic and this is not my first mechanical project. Still, I've never rebuilt a turbo before so advice is always appreciated. I haven't sourced a kit yet but have believe this to be a IHI rhb5 turbo.
More later.
The Facebook sister site thread I started already has some good activity.
found this kit, https://www.midwestturboconnection.c...uct-p/6009.htm
The Amazon kit is less money and more convenient, but I'm skeptical.
I'm going to ask these guys if they do rebuilds. They're the ones that did the bead roll I needed when I was doing my FMIC set up on the B4pro.
Edit- They don't rebuild turbos but they did refer me to this other shop.
I just sent them a message.
Edit-Wow, Kent got back to me really fast. In the upper left hand corner of the screen is the link "menu". Left click on that and a drop down screen gives a choice for, rebuild fee structure. That link tells you everything you need to know about pricing and such. Kent told me they've got a number of these types of turbos and have tons of experience working on them. There's also a billet wheel upgrade that I didn't know about. Good information. Thanks Kent.
