Jeff is an asshole!! Other than than that, I'd recommend him too. I've bought every turbo since 1995 from him. Just tell him "Carlton" sent you.

I had a compressor change and rebuild done a hucksorf. Really good to deal with. I liked it because you deal directly with the guy that does the work. A lot of feedback and good communication.

For changing the compressor and the subsequent rebuild was just over 6 bills. Garrett T3 with a 46 Trim T04E compressor. I was able to sell the old compressor for $100, so that helped. If I remember right it was about 2 weeks.

Sounds like they gave you a very competitive price.

20% off of $500 is $400 plus tax then $420.01

20% off of $500 is $400 plus tax then $420.01

so basicly 420bux then a penny for a lifetime warranty.

You can buy a rebuild kit with both Carbon and Dynamic
seals for under $100, you do need a torch on older turbos.

NOBODY in SE WI can rebuild your turbo and VSR balance
it, unless fuel systems or Hucks has bought one you guys
are realy spending a lot of money to simply rebuild them.

You can buy brand new T-3 turbos from Turbonetics for $600.
You can buy brand new T-3/4's for $7-800 why would anybody
even entertain paying $500 to rebuild an old shaft?

Those are factory Garrets for $619, full size "E" wheels its pretty
tough to beat those prices. I get a little worked up when people
talk about there local rebuilds, always cost more than a new
"shipped to your door" turbo.
