Damnit

Well Im screwed for a little while.... My GT17 turbo decided to fall apart on me... So i am in need of another T25 flange turbo. As I was looking at my turbo I saw some oil buildup. so I took it apart to clean it and well the turbo shaft bolt broke. and also the backing plate was bent..... Damn this sucks... anyone know where I could get a t25 turbo please let me know.

Damn man.. was this a new turbo? If so, might want to check/adjust your BOV (compressor surge) or maybe you had a plugged oil return?

You can check on getting the turbo rebuilt, that may be cheaper than a new turbo. A few places online do it, or the best bet is to find a diesel mechanic shop, Freightliner or Delco Diesel, they rebuild turbos all the time.

kyle, i'll ask around and see what turbine can be replaced with the gt17. Im sorry again, i was told the turbo had 25,000 miles on it, i put about 400 driving it and had no problems what so ever. If i can find you a shaft bolt and plate in town i'll let ya know

Look for spectre40 items on ebay he can get you a t25 for $225 NEW in the box from Garrett, not a rebuild. Or e-mail him at Spectre23@comcast.net his name is David Benson

Yeah thats the one I was looking at buying. If Andrew would kick me back 75-100 bucks That would be hella cool. Is this David Benson guy a good seller? Can he be trusted?


Well my car is back on the road with an exhaust manifold. I plugged my oil lines and pulled out all my vacumm lines etc... I feel sooooo slow

^ive been looking at those ones also. How much power where you putting out with you're old turbo? How much do you think with the new one? It seems like an amazing price for a brand new turbo.

This is another one ive been looking at. Very reasonable price!
