L28ET need help with turbocharger looking for OE fitment and performance.

[Dave WM]

I am trying to get some help on finding a way to either fix my existing stock turbo charger (looks like may have some broken compressor blades, and is very sloppy in the bearing).

any one know of a good stock replacement? I am not looking for an upgrade as I want to keep the orig EFI system intact. Hopefully a direct bolt in replacement. OR should I get it rebuilt? if so any recommendations for a rebuilder?

Was going to recommend you call Turbo City in CA for a stock garrett T3.  But it looks like they are no longer in business.

Maybe look on HybridZ for a source.   Don't be tempted to buy a cheap chinese knockoff from ebay.

I found this after a brief search, not sure if its a cheap knock off since the price is just for the CHRA

What about a T3 rebuild kit Dave?    After the 5 speed rebuild you did, the turbo should be a piece of cake..  

Make certain the oil feed line is in good shape or replace it..   One of the big causes of turbo failure.

The compressor impeller is smoked (chipped blades) otherwise i would be all over that kit. Not sure if you can get a kit that includes impellers also. Would need to balance that as well.

We can help with rebuilding your factory turbo if you are interested. Typical turn around time is about 6 weeks.

One detail I didn't see in any of the ads was what wheels were on either end and what the spec was for the factory wheels

I found the PN KL1669 and 410581-3 for garrett on the turbo tag.

I think I found a CHRA that should work for about 300$

I am using this as a cross

This is turning into quite a research process to run down the needed part.

How hard it is to replace the turbo cartridge and get it clocked right? I once tried to disassemble a turbo and found the bolts to be quite persistent!
