Anyone know affordable turbo rebuild around LA area?

[kornaz]

I have a Garrett T3 that needs a rebuild. I am considering doing it myself, but thought i would ask. The rebuild kits go for $80 and less to DIY, so i wouldn't pay more than around $160 or so to someone to do it. Let me know. I might just do it myself.

No one?? Come on people, i need some input. Let me know if you rebuilt the turbo yourself, what was the hardest? I read a lot about rebuilding, and it seems not to hard when you do it right.

I was looking around in my area and every shop I have talked to said that No one round here at least rebuilds them they said for me to order a new center section from garrett, cause the companies dont really sell rebuild kits cause people that rebuild them and dont balence and then complain when their "rebuilt" turbos screw up.

Theres a shop near here, in city of Vernon called Dieseltron. They rebuilt my brothers t3t4. I dont think anyone will charge u that little for it. I think like $300-500.

I will just do it myself. For 300+ a could get another in good condition. I have mechanical experience so it's not something i would be doing for a very first time. I will let you know how it goes.
