K04 Turbo Rebuild

[mike.ford84]

After a bit of advice really:

I am looking to get my K04 turbo rebuilt on my LCR as I believe the seals are on their way out.

Just after some recommendations on here as to where to send it?

Heard of a number of companies that specialise:

CR turbos
Turbo Tecnics
Midland Turbo
Turborebuild.co.uk

etc etc

I'am fairly confident I could probably rebuild it myself but I would like the added benefit of knowing it has been fully balanced and checked - so would rather pay the extra and get a company to give it the once over.

I built up my hybrid (K03 hotside K04-22 coldside) using parts from turborebuild.co.uk (which are all individually low speed balanced) then i took the completed core to CR turbos to have VSR balanced. been going strong for a year now.

I do know turborebuild.co.uk cant VSR balance (not ideal) most of the big companys can though.

I would hand it over to a shop to get it fully rebuilt.

For comparison:

I charge about 190£ for full refurb including new sealant, uprated bearing kit and VSR balancing including balancing plot.
