Garret 2560 BEGI S3 Problems
 

Hello guys,
I bought a Begi S3 with a Garret2560 from a friend of mine and today i found this:


The Turbo (as the kit) has about 10k road miles and 1/2k track miles. Boost always at 10 Psi.

What could be the reason of this in your opinion?
Anyways. What to do now? Can I rebuild this or is better to move on to a different turbo?
My car is a 93 with a 99 1.8 engine , stock internals, maybe in the future some rods. But for now would want to keep it stock.

:confused:

Do you run it without an air filter or something? Looks like it took in a rock...

No, the Guy never runed it without filter. =/

Any chance of repair this turbo?

'tis be dead in my opinion.

Either 'new' replacement 2560rs same turbo or w/e your goals be upgrade ;)

You can find a chra+compressor housing online. Have a local shop repair the turbine for you. Send it off to be balanced after new build/reseal. :fael:

The guy raned it without a filter.

Call Garrett you should be able to do a CHRA exchange for about $450 on that. It is your best and cheapest option to get going quickly with a real Garrett turbo.

Someone raned it without a filter, that's for sure... Rebuild or replace

replace the compressor wheel and drive on
Brand New Performance GT2560R Turbo Compressor Wheel | eBay

that doesn't look like a Garrett wheel whatsoever.

the shaft is going to be bent as well. it needs a chra replacement, which includes the turbine, chra, and compressor wheel. at $450 that's a steal.

Hello Guys,

Thanks a lot for your help ;)

I think that the Garret CHRA exchange for about $450 is only for US costumers. I am in the Portugal so I think I am screwd. :(

Another thing, as you can see in the video there are metal shavings around there. Can I clean my intercooler or should I replace it?

any shavings that get into motor at this point wont really matter. but that's braineack logic.

Give Garrett a call and talk to them. They will know about the CHRA exchange.

Braineack, but my car has not even started with this kit ;). It was installed in my friends car and during the installation on mine I noticed this ;). There's the reason I am asking about the intercooler :). I don't want to screw my engine ;)

Yeah blow all the stuff out first. I doubt there's much in there but it's cheap insurance. Buy a cheap SR20 T25 in the meantime and ream out your "friend" for being such a moron.

Anyone who sold you that turbo in that condition without mentioning it is not a friend.

You can clean out the intercooler, for metal bits like that backflush it.

To be honest he didn´t knew . He is one of my best friends. He insisted he would pay a brand new turbo immediately as soon as I told him the bad news.

Well, anyways, waiting for a reply from Garret. Thank you all guys ;)

I Think that's a divine sign telling you to wait for my turbo parts to arrive. Bad things can happen when you have more 100rwp than i do :D
