Turbo Seals
Would you guys believe that the seals went on my turbo already! I have a Precision 62/65 Ball Bearing Turbo. I paid 1600 dollars. The seals went in 2 months. Does anything cause this or is it my bad luck.

you arent the first one to complain about those presicion BB turbo. contact them they might be able to exchange it. i have heard from a buddy of mines that owns a shop that if its journal bearing they always return them but when its the BB ones there not so easy to echange. by the way rasta my seals blew on my 60-1 now i have a garrett 6265 with a upgraded 11 blade wheel. got it from mikes turbo

mike said he knew someone that rebuilt turbos down near him but hasn't got back to me about it. there was another shop i heard about in ocala but they never answer the phone. its looking more and more like i will be one of the first tc's with a gtx35r if all goes well.

hey brett ive seen your build before and vids you have a nice setup, if you know your ways around tools you can easily rebuild your turbo yourself, buy a rebuild kit they linger around 80 dollars, and rebuild your turbo your self ( most turbo components are pre balanced individually and not as a whole, like the were in the past) this means u dont need any rebalancing, a turbo can be rebuilt in an hour tops go online and type t3 turbo rebuild they all are the same design, just get the right kit for your trim/ size turbo
