[QUOTE="CHenry, post: 3312718, member: 6281"] Not entirely. I tore apart a Garrent turbo not long ago and the inner oil seal was bad, leaking oil to the intake wheel and it had almost seized up the shaft. I called around asking for rebuilld parts from some local shops who all told me you cant rebuild a turbo LOL. I asked them all to explain how they were selling rebuilt turbos then.] Finally called Garret and got a rebuild kit for $55. All the others wanted to sell me a $1200 reman turbo. lol .Took me a lot of time polishing al the fins and veins with a wire wheel on the angle grinder but saved me $1145. Thinking about going to Pull Apart and see how many turbos I can buy on the cheap and rebuild them on the side for resale on Ebay. Cant imagine a turbo at PA is more than $20 so I could make $1000 profit and if it took me 2 days, that aint bad at all. [/QUOTE]
