Hi all I've been looking at some of the turbo rebuild kits available for the standard turbo with the race 360 bearing and various other bits that come with it, also a staggered seal sold separately the seal is sold as a rear one .
Is there only 1 for the turbo ?
Has anyone done this conversion before?
Also does the shaft need to be balanced again + what problems will I face.
I fancy a sports cat or a de cat after the refurb.
Looks easy enough on you tube to do the conversion.
Also is there a compresser wheel upgrade available? Is that what is ment by a hybrid turbo.
Any thoughts welcome
The kit and seal is under £70.00.

There are plenty of options to upgrade the compressor wheel and a couple for the turbine. Have a look in the tuning guide for the link to the hybrid turbo thread.

I've never rebuilt a turbo so can't help you there but I've read it's important to be sure it's balanced correctly after the build. No idea how to do that though!

I noticed eBay now sell the t28 complete turbo core for just £150, its Standard though..

Yeah seen this, spoke to a company in Blackpool today who can put staggered seals, 62 trim and 360 bearing + a bigger housing for a maximum of £320 if the shaft needs attention cheaper if not.
Good for future upgrades + Seals etc .
This is the company that sells the parts to diy aswell
My under £70 quote was without compresser wheel and housing.
What bhp could i expect from this also would it need mapping with the g tec 1 all ready installed.

Im currently running a 62trim, 360 bearing, with supporting mods, and at 1.3bar it made 303bhp and 289 torque

The spool is so quick and on a dv36, sounds great

Not sure if anyone has tried it but kinugawa turbo sell the 60mm GTX comprssor wheel for around £80 which should fit, it should make more power than the usual compressor wheels used in a hybrid
