Chris Wilson Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 You could ring Garrett, but, as far as I know, the only *APPROVED* re-builders are Turbo Technics. Plenty of other people re build Garrett units, and I have witnessed the results of some of their efforts, which is why i only use TT...

eyefi Posted October 28, 2004 Author Share Posted October 28, 2004 ive just tried to get a price and option list for a new garrett turbo (not a rebuild) and he just wanted to sell hybrids, wont sell ball bearing turbos 'cos they r non servicable i dont understand why someone would turn down business, strange.

Chris Wilson Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 If you want a new (not rebuilt) unit you can buy from anywhere. Turbo Dynamics should be able to flog you one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Is there some reason it can't be posted here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 do a quick search on net and you will find anything you need loads cheaper. the gt35r will be a nice fast spooling street turbo think they rated for 600hp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrenn Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I've had a few turbos from BTN before (couple of years ago), seem like a good company to deal with. It you have a mate living abroad that you'd like to visit you might be able to get them VAT free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKEYmark Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 you cant beat home made yorkshire puddings and gravy. they are my diet a week before a big race meet. one of my secret mods for a good burnout is to spear a smidge of dripping on the tyres before launching as it holds the heat in the tyres longer. lee we dont have much money up north and only get paid 50p an hour darn pit. that mjm site has some good turbos check out the russian red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 http://www.apex-performance.co.uk seems to be a good place to get em in the uk. Mainly a 200sx specialist but can get any of the garrett RB core turbo's. HTH, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
