I know alot of people have been looking at Ebay and see those brand new T3s going for $150 BuyNow or Less. You know you have wanted to buy it or have bought it. Then realize 2 months later it blows on you or possibly sooner or even later. From my understanding its about a 75% fail rate on these turbos. Its not the housings that fail but your fins seem to shear off and are thrown through your intercooler.
Well I have your fix. Buy one of those turbos then immediately send it to Blaast Performance. They will take your turbo apart, trash all the inners and rebuild them with Garrett Parts. Its $250 plus shipping but for $350 you now have a new Garrett turbo (basically). They also give you a warranty and 2 day turn around time on the change over. I have not done this personally. However, alot of the guys on Honda forums have done this and recommend it. http://www.blaastperformance.com/index.php?p=asianrebuild -------------------- |

wouldn't it be cheaper in the long run to just buy a T3/T4 from blast themselves? cause you have to figure the ebays cost 150-175+shipping then 250+50 for the rebuild your at about 500 and these guys sell them for 475 i think i am just gonna look into that when i turbo my car. if i don't have the money for the gen III in time
