Hello im new here,I recently bought a 1994 f350 turbo diesel and the turbo is shot. I found a complete reman for $895. And a new cartridge for $525.I'm on a tight budget because I am also doing the body over. So has anyone used a cartridge on here? My housings show some scuffs but I don't think they are too bad and should be reusable. Any advice will be apreciated.

 

A complete reman for 895, does that include the pipes? If your looking for a factrory turbo replacement they can usually be had at most Junkyards for less than 600....

 

A rebuild kit for 50 bucks would be best.

 

That too haha. You can easily find them on Ebay, just need what turbo it is....like Garrett for example, idk what the factory turbos are, Snap do you?

 

I heard to stay away from eBay rebuild kits. I have no way to balance the turbin plus I'm not sure I trust the fins because the have ben hitting the housing.

 

Oh, that certainly makes things different, maybe get a quote from a local shop for a rebuild. Or look on ebay and craigslist for a turbo, maybe even check your junkyards.

 

Usedturbos.net sells new center housings with wheels for 450

 

I called around for a used one from a salvage yard today.....no luck. Usedturbos.net sells a complete factory reman for $625. with no core charge so thats what im gonna do. There cartridge or center housing was $525. the same as turbochargerpros.com That way I dont have to mess with it, just bolt it in and go. Thanks for the help!
