tgpguy21 Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 does anyone know if there is a rebuild kit for the t25 turbos?? my turbo has shaft play thats letting oil cylce through the intake and everything. Quote
dkorinko Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 I am yet to find one that u can actually do urself...I think the http://www.turbochargers.com place does it for like 350 bucks or something like that??? but then u have to worry about shipping and what not....if u find anything out, let me know.

LukeZ34 Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 I remember someone on here mentioning that they bought a rebuilt kit for the T-25 on ebay, and it worked out great. Quote
tgpguy21 Posted January 18, 2004 Author Report Posted January 18, 2004 Well Turbochargers.com says theyll do it for $275 if you dont need any additional parts other than what they have listed. If your not happy when they give you the quote theyll pay for shipping back to you. $275 doesnt seem like a whole lot does it? better than 500 + for a new one. Thanks for the info on this site i appreciate it dkorinko. Quote
dkorinko Posted January 18, 2004 Report Posted January 18, 2004 No problem, let me know if u end up using them because if i cant afford a new turbo, i really need a rebuild, i believe mine is doing the same thing urs is...cycling oil. Keep us, or atleast me, updated! thanks. Quote
Jeff M Posted January 19, 2004 Report Posted January 19, 2004 Before we hear back your turbine housing is cracked and they say needs repair/replacement, don’t worry about it. I have heard of and seen dozens of these T25s with cracks in the turbine housing starting at the wastegate flapper hole, long enough cracks to make you think it would fall apart, but no one yet has had any problems. As for a little exhaust leakage there, no issue either since the wastegate actuator spring relieves more exhaust even when told to be shut then the cracks will leak. Only other part that may be needed other than the rebuild parts are those items you can check yourself by inspecting the turbine wheel for damage (most common of these 2) or the compressor wheel for damage, may be some contact to the compressor housing when the bearings get worn. That should be it for most items on these turbos, good luck, and it was not that long ago some talk all about this , and the web site of this Message Board's owner/Shawn Lin has a list of turbo rebuild companies, and a lot of other helpful info 8) .

tgpguy21 Posted January 19, 2004 Author Report Posted January 19, 2004 thanks for the info jeff. im sure that probably would have been one of the things they would have told me was wrong with the turbo and i probably would have just bought a new one. But if they tell me that ill probably still try their rebuild. thanks again. Quote
R Dubya Posted January 20, 2004 Report Posted January 20, 2004 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=46098&item=2454112969 This is the kit needed to rebuild the turbos. I was told it is a PITA to separate the housings, and you should be sure to mark them to keep them balanced. I haven't done it myself but I plan on it soon, possibly this spring. Quote
RedZMonte Posted January 21, 2004 Report Posted January 21, 2004 I don't recommend rebuilding it yourself. you need to have it ballanced. check out "http://www.cheapturbo.com" RedZ Quote
tgpguy21 Posted January 22, 2004 Author Report Posted January 22, 2004 yeah im going to send mine into turbochargers.com and just have them rebuild it for $275, as long as if there is a crack in the turbine housing and they say it will not void any type of warranty. Quote
RebelGT Posted February 4, 2004 Report Posted February 4, 2004 there must be a definite casting flaw with these T25's then, i have a crack in the same exact location, how lame :oops: Quote
dkorinko Posted February 7, 2004 Report Posted February 7, 2004 Every turbo place i have talked to said they havent seen a turbo like ours WITHOUT a crack! Quote
idbeast Posted February 7, 2004 Report Posted February 7, 2004 I have a spare without a crack!!! And No it not for sale :shock: Quote
dbtk2 Posted February 21, 2004 Report Posted February 21, 2004 Every turbo place i have talked to said they havent seen a turbo like ours WITHOUT a crack! When we took the turbo off of the 2 door TGP and had it rebuilt, there were no visible cracks anywhere that I could see on it. Shawn Quote
dkorinko Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 Trying cleaning the interor of the exhaust housing up, u'll find some near the waste gate...If u dont believe me...Ask jeff, he'll tell u that every damn TGP turbo he's seen has had cracks! :shock: Quote
dbtk2 Posted February 22, 2004 Report Posted February 22, 2004 Trying cleaning the interor of the exhaust housing up, u'll find some near the waste gate...If u dont believe me...Ask jeff, he'll tell u that every damn TGP turbo he's seen has had cracks! :shock: When we took the turbo off we cleaned it off, and I didn't see anything. Then, the place that rebuilt it also cleaned it off. And I didn't see any cracks or anything after it came back either. It may have had them, but I sure as hell couldn't find them. Shawn Quote
