Turbo Needs Rebuilding
Hey,
Anyone know where I can get my stock TD04 turbo rebuilt in the bay area? Seems like bearings are going bad.
Thanks,

you can buy a rebuilding kit from certain websites and do it yourself if you want to go that route. I'm not sure of rebuilding shops in the area though

might as well find a working one. I'm sure the cost of a rebuild could buy you another one. If you go VF, you need injectors, fuel pump, intercooler, and a tune. It's what I want to do in the near future

Just a suggestion find a shop you like. I happen to be a GST customer. Call up whatever so you pick and let them know your plans. Often times they know people who may have the parts you are looking for laying around. Then they can install and tune them.

It's work and money. But definatley worth it.
You could buy a used td04 and try and rebuild yours yourself? That's what I would do if/when (knock on wood) my vf39 dies
Or 20g haha

I like the vf series idea. I'd go for 43 cause i hear the 39 sometimes crack. But i have upgraded midpipe, catless uppipe, SRI, Full 3in Catless exhaust, Sti top mount, and running cobb stage 2 v3. So i'd have to get injectors, tune, and fuel pump with it. $$$$$. Does anyone know how long these turbos last until they stop working all together? I'm holding boost pretty well right now and i've had the dealer inspect it and it appears to be a bearing or impeller issue.

hmm that's interesting. idk how reliable rebuilds are from other places. I was thinking of going new maybe for at least a td04. thanks for the link and all the suggestions.
