Does anybody have a spare turbo cartridge that is good and rebuildable ?

As posted in a prior post, I had blown the oil seal in my turbo.
I got a complete rebuilt kit, took the turbo out to rebuilt and found that the threats in the compressor wheel were stripped out and that wheel was moving somewhat freely on the shaft. Taking it further apart I discovered the thrust bearing frozen solid onto the shaft. It will not come off.
Now I need a new center section with the exhaust side wheel and the shaft.
Can anybody help out with a good rebuildable ?

Thanks
Stefan

 

Time to upgrade to the freakify mod

 

I wish I could upgrade, but for now a stock turbo with the spx wheel is sufficient . Wonder if anybody has an old turbo, from when they upgraded ?

 

Mines essentialy a stock turbo, just modify using SD parts

 

Adam do you have a SD pedestal on that with an e99 spider???

 

Yes sir, a hell of alot easier to take it of.

 

ok.. i ended up buying a new exhaust wheel with shaft and a new intake backing plate from SPX Turbo after cutting my old turbo shaft in half to get it out. Did a good cleaning and i have now everything assembled inclusive the new SPX intake wheel and the 360 thrust washer upgrade.
When i took her yesterday on a test drive i did noticed that my turbo whistle is much less than before, but it seems i have a even boost throughout the entire throttle range. The “hole i had at the beginning while taking off is no longer there. Much smoother ride.
I just would have expected the new wheel to be a little louder..

Thats a good thing, the SPX wheel sure helped my truck move faster off the line,
Once you tow or haul something heavy thats where this wheel shines, keeps egts down and the turbo whistle well you will definatly know its there.
