OhNineGT Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Well, I got my motor rebuilt. Now the cheap ebay turbo is going out (No shaft play but is screaming). Which turbo should I invest in? Looking at about $1500. I saw that RalliTek has one for cheaper. I'm all about value in price but I want the one that will last me the longest with good performance.

GTTuner Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 You better park that car until you get a turbo unless you want to do that motor over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBwrench Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 All you're saying says that you need to PM JMP about a custom VF40. Your turbo budget is pretty high for what I'm assuming is a stock replacement... With that you could probably get a JMP turbo and an accessport and go stage 1 DON'T drive it until you get a new turbo in there! And change your oil, check for glitter, even remove the pan and check if you can.

xtea Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I've got a jmp46 that has absolutely nothing wrong with it. 10k on it $500 obo shipped. Should last you at least another 100k or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMonaLisa Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 JmP6889928 is the absolute man. If you have/ can find a used OEM turbo, there is amazing value for the money to be had. Arguably better reliability than a new OEM turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
