Hey guys hope you had a great summer .
I went & Had a 60 mm upgrade & rebuild . BUT ... after the guy delivered it to where I work & I started it Isounded like I threw a bunch of screws in the blender . So something went bad with the rebuid. ...... So at this point I have a ground up Turbo & possible other damage .
The great news is that it is going into the court system because NOBODY is responsible .
HERE is the question ....... I have the truck with no clue where the damage ends & am in need of the whole package turbo & exhaust housing together .
ANY suggestions on package deals , suppliers etc ?? I've looked & I'm over loaded & getting nowhere .
On a final note the truck has been turned up but no injectors or pump mods yet so just lookin for reliable power . I haul but rarely tow .
Thanx Heath

 

Whats wrong with it? What actually broke?

 

Looks like the shaft was loose & the compressor wheel moved allover inside & was chewed up .
It only needed a rebuild but I went with the upgrade .

 

So it's just the turbo?

 

It may be just the turbo BUT at this point I cant risk it & figured it would be best to get it all together from somewhere as it seems every garage around here is shall we say a bit below par so rebuild is not somthing I think i should risk . If i'm gona spend the $ it may as well be on new & some what a bolt on so that I can tackle it without another garage FUBAR.

 

I have a hx35 floating around

 

I appreciate the gesture & I'm sure looking for used parts would save $ but I've been screwed way to many times with this truck & am totally shell shocked . I just hope to get peoples 2 cents worth on what to use & from whom they may have ordered from . Gillett has been helpful with the rebuild kit & compressor upgrade but I'm just trying to make less mistakes by asking more questions , even if it makes me look uneducated . They did recomend one of their packages but I'm just gona worrie till I'm up & running again . Thank you Heath

 

I'll stand by a S300 all day long. It's a pretty responsive turbo, very stable capable of 40psi. Cleans up the smoke very well. Truck a standard or automatic? Idk how the s300 does with a standard. Autos let ya stay spooled. May want something a little quicker on the low end.

It's a 3 speed auto , the TF727 . So as I understand with the auto & the fact that it's non ic
the turbo could be a bit bigger & would clear up the smoke on the top end without having to spool up between shifts . Is that true or am I mixed up again ?

 

Is the nut still on the shaft? Maybe he didn't know the shaft was left hand threads and stripped the shaft.
