time to replace the turbo

I was thinking going with the beans turbo but wasnt sure if it was a direct bolt in or not. Also what are the other turbos worth looking into that are direct bolt in?

The beans D66 is a direct bolt in, dunno about others. Would you be willing to sell your stocker if you upgrade?

Majestic turbo can do it as well. They take your turbo and turn it into the d66. I'm not sure on all the details involved, but you might want to contact either company, I'm sure they could explain the process.

i got this from me emails from them!
Rodney,

We change the backing plate to a billet, upgrade internal thrust system to a 360degree, balance new compressor wheel to turbine shaft, reassemble turbo.

Comes with a one year warranty.

Upgrade is $1000 with a $150 core $850 if you send me yours.

Stock rebuild $425

Ron's Turbo Service is a good option. You'll have to call him for pricing. He also has an EBay store.
