Keyan Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hi, I have a OBXT with a 180k mile vf40 on it, and the oil seals in it are shot. I'm looking to just swap out the chra with a billet unit. I'm sort of iffy about making the purchase on ebay. Are there any known companies I can buy it from that aren't ebay?

Max Capacity Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 PM JmP6889928, he's one of our go to guys for rebuilding turbo's. or contact www.tuningalliance.com he's a great Tuner that can rebuild yours too. Unless you know what your doing, let an expert that we trust do your turbo. Also install a new oil return hose. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Keyan Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Mechanically I know what I'm doing, slapping in a new CHRA is nothing more than a snap ring, a clamp, and making sure the mating surfaces are perfectly flush. What I'm asking is are the ebay CHRA replacements dependable, or is there a more legit billet vf40 (CHRA, not whole unit) somewhere for purchase that isn't built cheaply? Thanks for the tip about the return hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
