Turbo overhaul

[Andy1GP]

i would not try to fix a blown vnt turbo, the only replacement turbine wheels and compressor wheels ect available are non garrett parts (chinese).
garrett refuses to make these parts available , since they do not want vnt turbo's to be reconditioned.(like p1000 said)

do not even think of using a chinese copy of these turbo's , you will be sorry.

original garrett turbo's can however be SERVICED with genuine garrett bearing kits, provided they are in running condition still. (and provided you do not disturb the vnt settings.)

if you have to ask how this is done, you should not be doing it though

OK - starting to make sense now.

How difficult is it to actually remove and refit the turbo unit?

Any DIY's?

He posted his DIY already. It's the only one on the forum.

I'll also be doing a DIY in the near future. I suspect a fault with my VNT mechanism. Will be servicing it with a fellow fanatic and give feedback on my 330d thread.
