Turbo Repair Information

[Tim]

I want to put all the turbo info in one spot for others to get quickly.

After searching the forum on Turbo Info heres what I found.

There is 3 main places people send there turbo for rebuild.

Turbochargers.com (Houston, Texas)  (800) 749-7111
Majesticturbo.com (Waco, Texas)  1-800-231-5566
DallasTurbo.com (Is this the same company as Majestic just in Dallas?)(800) 297-3626

The turbo is a Garret T-25.

Questions?
1. Will a stage 1 or 2 upgrade require chip retuning?

2. Has anyone managed to get there turbo rebuilt for the basic charge (~$300)? It seems everyone has had to pay large extra fees because the housing or impeler was screwed ($700-800).

3. It has been suggested that $700-800 is NOT a good deal for a factory turbo (Without upgrades). If so then how is the cost of needing a chip retuned and fabrications costs/time more worthwhile? Will the benifits be that great?

Screw stock T-28's. Do some welding, and bolt up a toyota ct-26!! YEEHAA!!! On a more real note, I would say 700 for a good rebuild depending on what hard parts are bad would be alright.
