Default Both Incon Turbos Need To Be Rebuilt. Who should I Send Them To?

Had a problem with the check valve that feeds pressurized oil to the turbos. After the check valve it "tees" off to each turbo.

The bearings will need to be replaced (cartridges rebuilt) and one of the housings might need machining. The housing has slight gall marks where the turbine blades nicked it.

The turbos are the GT37's. -11 cartridges I believe.

I've got amost 10k in this brand new kit, I'm literally stretched to my limit. (actually over my limit to be honest)

Who can do a job correctly the first time around and will charge a very reasonable price. I need help....

Thanks for any help/advice... ~Joshua

Whoever you use, get a guaranteed return date....some places will sit on a rebuild....some are fast.

Werd, make sure you know what you are getting and when you'll see your turbos again. A lot of places have a hard time with turnaround....

Thanks everyone. ~Joshua

p.s.- this sucks. More than just the money (which is a huge kick) it's the work to remove/replace the b!tches.

typical 19 hours of labor to replace a $0.30 o-ring scenario. i feel your pain.

i would DEFINATELY send em to jose as there is never any bad press about him and hes a great contributor as far as data and info goes on this site. give him the biz.

I say go to Home Depot/ Lowes and get 2 leaf blowers. Get the 2 that flow the most air and draw the least amount of amps. Then take the Incon TT kit off the car and for a small fee I would take the kit off your hands. Thats what you should do.
