Any turbo rebuilders here - 12/1/2007 7:23:16 PM    73dart Posts: 96 Joined: 5/19/2007 Status: offline Got my turbo yesterday but it needs the compressor wheel replaced. How does the wheel come off I got the nut off the end of the shaft but the wheel will not move. I don't want to pry too hard as not to mess up the turbo so does anyone have any ideas. _____________________________ 1996 Cummins 2500 4x4, 100 plate full forward, 3kgsk , 370 injectors, S300 62/14 turbo, 5" commercial truck muffler, 5" twin stacks, 33" mudders, NV-4500 swap, SB Con-FE 13" upgrade. 1973 Dart Swinger 2007 Charger R/T Road and Track Package Post #: 1

Then i took a rubber malllet and slightly tapped the housing until it moved up. Since the wheel is flat on the back side, you wont damage the wheel or the otherside of the housing. That seemed to work for me. Also make sure you mark the housing on what location it was at. (in reply to 73dart) Post #: 2

By then, you might as well spend the extra $100 to get the turbo rebuild.  < Message edited by tryingbe -- 12/31/2007 5:38:15 PM > _____________________________ 89 Daytona Shelby with T-tops.

This is the main reason why I quit using them 5 years ago. Call Chris at Turbosunleashed.. 602.76.BOOST (26678) http://www.turbosunleashed.com/index.htm Mark (in reply to MNmopar) Post #: 7

RE: Any turbo rebuilders here - 1/31/2008 5:09:43 AM    bansheenut420 Posts: 152 Joined: 4/5/2007 Status: offline Thanks nmmopar. Its my baby.  I wouldnt use TU for a turbo because it took them 4 months to rebuild my s70. And the fuel rail I got from them needs all kinds of re-drilling to make it work. Cindy answers the phone everytime I call. And she has saved my ass more times than I can count by shipping my stuff overnight at her cost and whatnot.  She is where I got everything for my RT. Minus the portwork and the holset. That came from LoneWolf performance. So if you are lookign for the best damn port work around. www.lonewolfperformance.com Talk to wallace. My RT head flowed 280cfm on the intake and 224cfm on the exhaust at .350" lift. And thats just a stage one.  Plus his cams. Lets just say, the car is BEGGING for the holset HX-40pro he sold me. The little s70 hairdryer is just not cutting it. Not to mention I got some BAD advice to do a wheel clip on the S70 which made it a laggy POS from TU. My buddy with another RT had the same problem as far as a wait for his turbo. He didnt get his clipped, and it performed alot better than mine. She will also be the source for ALL of my 87 shelbys Z'z stuff as well. _____________________________ -92 White IROC RT http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2038370 -87 shelby z with T tops Best Turbododge site--->www.turbododge.com (in reply to Turbobearcat) Post #: 8

I like the fact that I've seen some posts from Cindy on this forum but maybe Chris from unleashed is here too, I don't know because I'm pretty new here. Either way, that's two good leads! Thanks again guys, josh Oh, and thanks for the tip on lonewolf I will give them a call. < Message edited by MNmopar -- 1/31/2008 3:20:22 PM > (in reply to bansheenut420) Post #: 9
