Factory turbo rebuild price

[IDIeselman]

What is the going rate for a rebuild on the factory ATS turbo? I've been watching a ford reman and can't decide if I should grab it or have the one I bought on e-bay freshened up. The comp wheel looks like someone stuck a screwdriver in it while it was running to see if they could stop it.

Hey tractorboy,
I think Darrin said that Ken has a pretty decent cost on rebuilding them, Might give him a shout.

Thanks Ron, I can buy a new ford reman for $550 I figured if a rebuild is anywhere near that I might just as well by the reman and save the trouble of getting one rebuilt.

A few years back I paid $450 for mime.

There is a guy on ebay that someone from here recommended and of course I can't recall who he is or how to get ahold of him.... he quoted us 310 to rebuild ours with a 1 day turn around. Maybe whoever told us about him will refresh my memory, because I'd like to be back in touch with him myself.

Hey Ken @ DPS rebuilt mine, new compressor wheel, turbo kit, little bit of labor, cost $458 plus shipping. He does good work..just hard to get ahold of...GL

 

[tonkadoctor]

Yer welcome Tanya. I'm really pleased with everything I got from him. Put about 2000 miles on the turbo since I rebuilt it and it's smoooooooooth.

5 days total from me sending him the turbine wheel and shaft to be balanced along with a money order to his place in Utah till I had everything on my doorstep in NC...Figure he jumped on it as soon as it arrived with no procrastination.

Thanks for the link. The turbo I'm watching is ending in 3 hours and the seller won't return my questions so he can eat autolite. It's a new in the box from ford reman with a min bid $450 and buy it now for $550 . so many times I was 1 second away from hitting that evil little button.

I'd just have a reputable builder rebuild it. I haven't put mine in yet so I don't know how happy I am with DPS in that regard yet.

 

[IDIeselman]

Well I took the bait and bought it for $500.00. Man it won't be long and I too will be turboing.
