Posted May 25, 20222 yr comment_640836 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?

May 25, 20222 yr comment_640837 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.

May 25, 20222 yr Author comment_640838 I found this after a brief search, not sure if its a cheap knock off since the price is just for the CHRA Mercedes Benz 300TD 300 SLD Garrett TB03 Turbo Turbocharger CHRA Cartridge Core | eBay Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/67515-l28et-need-help-with-turbocharger-looking-for-oe-fitment-and-performance/#findComment-640838 Share on other sites More sharing options...

May 25, 20222 yr comment_640842 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. https://www.amazon.com/Turbo-Charger-Repair-Rebuild-Garrett/dp/B07SCGSTS4?th=1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/67515-l28et-need-help-with-turbocharger-looking-for-oe-fitment-and-performance/#findComment-640842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 25, 20222 yr Author comment_640850 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.

May 25, 20222 yr Vendor comment_640853 We can help with rebuilding your factory turbo if you are interested. Typical turn around time is about 6 weeks.

May 26, 20222 yr Author comment_640886 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$ Garrett TB0306 CHRA Cartridge 410581-0007 (invasionautoproducts.com) I am using this as a cross NISSAN410581-000314420P9000CHRAN/ATB0306USE 410581-0007 This is turning into quite a research process to run down the needed part.

May 26, 20222 yr comment_640892 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!
