Hillarious...

Could you fly out and help me with some Calculus ?

LOL

My question is why would you.... Most of the time, if you blow a seal or run low on oil, you basically will destroy the fins on the wheel.... Thats just how it is....

I talked to ATP Turbo extensively.

1st they have a BB Exchange Program. Basically you send in your OLD blown whatever CHRA. For 450+ shipping you get a BRAND NEW CHRA.....

Then you have to talk to them to upgrade the wheels, which I am in talks with.

But if you buy a new one, there is an upgrade to the new GTX. Just call up atpturbo.com....

Basically give them a call up and they will tell you what you can and cannot do.

Hey Zilvia,

Sorry for the lack of official introduction, but we felt we had to chime in here...

-Ball Bearing turbos can be rebuilt (we have an upgraded ceramic ball bearing rebuild kit, Garrett is steel ball bearing)

-Genuine Garrett ball bearing cast compressor wheels can be bought separately

-Genuine Garrett ball bearing Billet GTX compressor wheels cannot be bought separately (at this time)

-PureTurbos does have over 600 different billet wheels available including 11-blade extended tip wheels (PTX Wheels) to fit Garrett ball bearing turbos and most other turbos (GT28, GT30, GT35, 18G, 20G, 60-1, 18T, 50trim, 57trim, 60trim, etc...)

-A properly rebuilt turbo (journal bearing or ball bearing) needs to be component balanced AND cartridge balanced to meet industry standards for balance tolerances

-Cartridges which are only component balanced are usually 1.5-2.5 gr/in out of balance when tested on our cartridge balancing machine. After being balanced on our machine, they come out between 0.01-0.08 gr/in

-PureTurbos does have a cartridge balancing machine (all our turbos and rebuilds are cartridge balanced). Most turbo shops do not have a cartridge balancing machine

-Precision Turbo does NOT have a cartridge balancing machine, only their "aftermarket replacement" line are cartridge balanced (because they are assembled elsewhere, not in the USA)

-Turbonetics does use a cartridge balancing machine

These are just facts, feel free to ask questions and we will do our best to answer them.

I broke down and got a used gt2860RS w/.64 housing. There is no shaft place, and turbine wheel looks good. The compressor wheel is "okay" but is a little rough. So I figure a replacement is in order.

There are a few places out there to get a billet compressor wheels in 71mm. I'm thinkg about going with a company called Snail Turbo (anyone used them, all reviews online are postiive). They are offering both the 6-blade and 11-blade (GTX style?). I am assuming the SNX designation means they are modeling off the GTX compressor design. They both have the same specs
Dual 6-Blade & 11-Blade

- IND/EXD-----53.1mm/71mm
- Hub Length--6mm

I know "as discussed previously in this post", Even if modeled after the GTX, there won't be that much more top end. This part does not concern me, what does concern me is spool time. Would going with the 11-blade cause it to spool later?
