Garrett GT2560R can't be repaired??
1.6 1993
I was about to fit my gt2560r to my built engine and had a quick finger test of the turbo shaft, I have a little back and forth and side to side play but the fins are not touching the castings.
I called a few garrett repair outlets here in the UK and was told by a couple of them that the garrett ball bearing turbos cannot be repaired, I was more or less told to throw it in the bin and buy a new one!
Is this true, I appreciate it would be harder to repair than a journal bearing turbo but un repairable??
If that's the case and the 'Garrett experts' here tell me my turbo is on the way out I may look at buying a different turbo option, just don't know which one....
