how much it cost?

The complete brand-new CHRA should be about 500.

The turbine shaft/wheel is $200 alone... plus labor, plus rebuild kit, plus new center section= more than $500 so the entire new CHRA is the best bet.

I wonder how they determine that. Wouldn't a catastrophic failure of the Center Section destroy a turbine blade?

Glad to hear you're getting it worked out. Come to the track!!

Well my center section didn't fail... I thought the shaft seized, because I could not move it with my hand, and the oil fitting was loose and oil was on the fitting. But the center shaft is not blued at all, and the bearings are perfect. There is a clean break on one of the fins of the turbine shaft, and the people at DC said it most likely broke off and the foreign object and out of balance wheel is what cause the destruction. The shaft is actually bent, too. So if the shaft did bend, and wear into the cast center section I would have just needed a new turbine shaft.

Thanks to Dennis at Diesel Components. I have a brand new shiny Holset CHRA. It set me back about $550 :( But hey, my car will be going by tomorrow.

Next on the agenda:
Install turbo
Run at the track
All new front end parts and alignment
Maybe a Rasky's detail session????
Take nice pics while shes clean and shiny.

127mph is pretty good. What's the race weight again?
