Turbo was shot to pieces, wish I had before pics. Basically got entire center cartidge replaced, new shaft, wheels, bearings, etc. Note the nice bead blasted finish... too bad it will rust. Compare to manifold, not bead blasted.

Cost of mani, turbo, dp, and o2 sensor : $50
Cost of rebuild : $400

$450 Greddy kit.

Pics here.

 

looks good...keep it going.

 

umm, thats not even a full kit.... so no, it wasnt $450 for the greddy kit.

you've got a little ways to go pal.

 

you've got a ton of stuff you still need.

 

Dahm I knew you where getting suckered when you got that kit
Ohh well.

 

Ahh, I'm not that dumb. Just the majority of the big stuff for $450.

Maybe it wasn't quite clear... I got all the stuff I wanted from a Greddy kit for $450. The rest of the stuff is about worthless anyway.

I also have:

450cc DSM injectors (and resistors)
1g Eclipse SMIC & BOV
Intercooler piping
Oil lines
Boost guage and pod
Uberdata chip and ROM burner
and all the rest of the stuff I need. It's going on next Saturday.
