If you want you can let me borrow it and ill try it out for a few years.

But anyways, looks hella better! Where you get it done? What kinda other work do they do? Looks like they did a good job.

I drove it over to Turbo Specialties in Birmingham, AL. Took the lude for a ride last night after replacing the distributor, radiator and turbo. lost 5 quarts of oil during a 3 mile drive. Got towed home. wish me luck

What was the overall cost?

j92s · 12-19-2002, 09:56 AM

you mean for the cleaning/balancing/painting/blueprinting? If so, $150

achemze · 12-20-2002, 03:55 AM

so your turbo wasnt blown before hand? Would you know what it would of cost if you tached on replacing the bearings?

bradboy · 12-20-2002, 06:59 AM

What turbo is it ? Looks like a t3/to4b. What are the specs

j92s · 12-22-2002, 09:52 PM

achemze - its not a ball bearing turbo, so bearings are pretty cheap.

bradboy - kinda embarassing, but i honestly dont know. All i know is that its a t3/t4.
