Garrett Roller Bearing CHRA Replacement Program?

[McRat]

Last I heard, Garrett wasn't "really" rebuilding roller bearing turbos. You'd have to just buy the whole CHRA.

Now apparently they are helping a bit:

Ball Bearing Service Program

Garrett takes great pride in the quality of its turbochargers and tests them extensively. However, sometimes the unthinkable happens and a turbo fails. Garrett now provides the option to exchange a failed CHRA for credit on a new CHRA at an affordable price!

The program requires you take the following steps:

1. Make sure your unit is covered by the program by contacting a Garrett Performance Distributor or Garrett Performance House.
2. Send your used CHRA* to one of Garrett's Performance Distributors for inspection.
3. Purchase a new CHRA at a discounted price!

"*At a minimum, the center housing must be re-usable to qualify for this program. The Garrett Performance Distributor or Garrett Performance House will determine the condition upon receiving the CHRA and has final say in the applicability of a CHRA for this program.This program is available ONLY through North American distributors"

That could definitely help some if its a fair amount. But I guess any help is better then none

Garrett has been running this program now for about 2-3 years. Its based on sending your core chra in and receiving a new one (complete chra, both wheels) at a discounted price. I have only had to use this service 3 times but went smooth and quick.

Can you share how much savings is involved?
