Title: turbo rebuild
Post by: GTIcheeseman on 29 May 2012, 08:52

I have a f**ked k03s and I'm thinking that if I can get it rebuilt I'm gonna stop selling it. I have asked gr turbos and Essex turbos they both quote 400+ but can't really afford that .. So if anyone can do it on here would be nice :) or if anyone knows someone or a cheaper company it would help. I can't do it at home just don't have the tools

Essex turbos are way to dear.

Try turbo developments in west London. Very good service and was half of what Essex turbos quotes me.

They even explained to me what the problem was.

why dont you just look for a newly rebuilt ko3 on ebay should be able to get one for 250-300 then buy a rebuild kit for yours off ebay for 40 quid and do it in your spare time
