Turbo rebuild options

I guess the compressor wheel has loosened up. We have a place here in town that charges a lot to rebuild these turbos. Am I better off sending it to PTE or just having it done local. Also, what does this usually cost? There is play in the wheel side to side but seems like 0 play front to back. Its a 67gtq.

Re: Turbo rebuild options

u always have side to side play on turbo's. if you check it and turn the compressor does it turn the housing? i wouldn't be worried if it didn't

Re: Turbo rebuild options

There was a little scraping going on on the compressor side. I took it to a local guy today and at first he didn't think it needed work but as he was messing with he said he noticed something and he wants to take it apart to see. He also showed me a very small chip on the wheel and said it would have thrown the balance off. I'm supposed to hear back from him today.

Re: Turbo rebuild options

i just had 2 turbo rebuilt by precision a basic rebuild is around 250-280 that is take apart clean everything new seals bearings and balance. if it requires more hten it costs more. just had a pt-61 rebuilt but it needed turbine shaft and center section and ended up costing me 500 so all depends how bad but if you think its bad rebuild it before it gets to bad like mine did
