Turbo Takes a Dump Yet AGAIN!

[EclipseGST]

You were still there helping me try to figure out what the hell was going on!

Talked to the guys at Diesel Components this morning and they said bring it by and they'll see what they can do. Hopefully they'll rebuild it free of charge.

you got that turbo rebuilt for 669? i think you should of just got a new one. or something. That seems quite expensive for a rebuild on a turbo.

Agreed. That's a lot for a rebuild when you could just buy a new one of similar qualitiy for 799-999. Someone was telling me about ball bearing turbos on sale this winter too... I'll check back when I can recall.

Sorry to hear about your car Jake. Bad luck just likes you =/

It was me. BB turbos for under $900.

I agree also, maybe get that thing rebuilt again and sell it on ebay or something if they do it for free. Get yourself a nicer more reliable turbo.

Well it originally wasnt suppost to cost more than $500 so thats why I did it but they kept running into problems and soon it was up to around $800 when it was done. I was like WTF??? I would have just bought a brand new 3065 if I was spending that much. Well we talked it over and they said they would pay for half of anything over $500 so they lowered the price a little to $669 after tax so I said ok cause I just wanted my damn turbo back. Shit happens, its a dsm! Now since it is winter I want something bigger anyways so when it gets rebuilt I will probably sell everything... Turbo/Wastegate/02 housing/Injectors

Thanks guys.

So I talked to the guys from Diesel Components and they want me to find a new/replacement turbine wheel and exhaust housing for the turbo then they will buy that back from me for warrenty purposes. I was also talking to Shane about the turbo a while back and he was thinking it could be a SCM61. Anyways does anyone (vendors) have a way of getting ahold of a turbine housing and turbine wheel to a SCM61??

I would post up a thread in each vendor forum but I figure that would be a waste. Maybe I'll give some of you guys a call tomorrow to see what can be done. Thanks guys.
