What made your decision to go with that turbo?

 

[Dan@PPE]

What are you guys spending to rebuild a HTT or similar charger?

From the was all his posts look Dan he was just trying to get his post count up so he could post in the garage sale section.

To rebuild an S300 its around 450 depending on the shop , I was 600 for a rebuild and compressor wheel upgrade .

 

[Dan@PPE]

Is this the normal going rate?

I agree. I'm tired of reading his useless post in EVERY damn thread.

Not sure Dan maybe others will chime in , i am sure it was a bit of a discount but have heard of others paying simaler

I would like to hear more about HTT failures , as I plan to buy one soon .. the whole "My Garrett BB is better than yours " BS gets old fast . not everyone can afford $3 k plus for a turbo , never mind $3k each on a twin setup

agreed the price is high for a garrett. but lets see here how many times do you want to pull a turbo out and rebuild it. i have no interest in doing that i would rather save money for a few more weeks and buy a turbo i dont have to rebuild every year. get what you pay for i guess:2cents:

Yup!! I believe it was in that general range when Simon checked on rebuilding his S475.

My silverbullet needed a $500 refresh after 3 years of racing and daily driving/towing. probably put on 100,000+kms. htt is a similar turbo so i would expect similar reliability. silverbullet seems to be behaving fine now, and has 80-90 lbs. boost being shoved through it regularly.

 

[skintback]

I will still buy a HTT/Borg/Bullseye when it's time

It just seems like they are a little fragile or maybe not everyone can afford the BB so that's why you see more out there needing rebuilt.

It seems like i'v read about a 360* thrust bushing/washer instead of a 180* dose that sound wright?

 

[jonathancasey19]

I've always heard + - $500 for htt rebuild

 

[Dan@PPE]

So what is the complaint on the BB chargers? Is it the initial cost or the rebuild cost?

does PPE have the ability to rebuild Garrett's in house?

I would guess its the rebuild cost everyone is thinking of.

 

[S Phinney]

The two biggest complaints are both Dan. Even the journal bearing Garrett's are substantially higher than the Borg counterpart.

I just got a quote on two new wheels, New Jb's, and balance on a 106mm Garrett for $850 FWIW.
