sending back to the manufactuer or send it that they refer you to. I had to learn this first hand man dont trust these random ass places go the a place that has a dealer license and that rebuilds turbos. I rebuilt mine by some place that claimed they do great work bang 300 miles later turbo pissed out oil and was junk. SO either buy a new one of do like i said your best bet man save the time and hassel do it once do it right.

Scott @ Turbo's direct.

Yeah, Scott is the biggest Garrett dealer and builds great turbos. That's who AFI and other big turbo shops go through.

He's really good at what he does! He's currently rebuilding a turbo for me that I bought off my friend. I've known him since 1996 and he's been in business for longer then that. That should tell you how good he is.

I havent had a rebuild by him but have been referred to him by numerous guys. As far as customer service goes, hes awesome. He quoted me 250$ for a COMPLETE rebuild on a Garret T25 and that also includes a 1 yr warranty....but who cares about him I guess. Bump for Scott.

Scott is great, he built me a custom t3/t67 p trim and had it done the next day. I am not saying anyone else can't do it, but the thread asked who can rebuild turbos and I gave my opion.

I've read way too many horror stories for me to trust them with something so delicate. do a search on H-T been blassted.....not good.... I'll pretend you never said that.


just wanted to let everyone know that I went with AZ turbo, Joel is the MAN. the pricing was great and he had it ready for me the next day.... I didn't expect it to be so quick but it was balanced and ready for pick up and it looked brand new.
I must say Joel knows his stuff. when I dropped it off, he took it apart while I was still there and went over parts that were getting worn and stuff, also he gave me all my old parts in a baggy, and a new oil drain seal and turbo manifold gasket, all packaged up in a nice box when i went to pick it up.
