Ok let me just explain what happen. today was driving home and i lost boost pressure so i gave it alittle gas, and i notice didnt hear the Bov or wasnt getting any boost pressure so i drove to my uncles shop, and took off the intake and when i spend the compressor wheel it was completely seized :frown: before i had a small oil leak on the turbo i let the car sit but was force to drive it today "need it for work". i order steel braided lines which came in today "just my luck" so what i wanted to know? i have searched is there a rebuild kit for my turbo its a PE1820 which i really love my job sucks and i dont make that much.. so i cant afford the same turbo if not i was looking godspeed turbos but i really havent heard good thing about them. i was looking at there T3 Internal Wastegate Turbo but oil cooled only. if not then save alot and go for GT2871R but i also need to know if it was fit my current set up. Any Info would really help thank you!!!

My Setup!!
S14 Sr20det
Blitz Lm Intercooler
ISIS Turbo Manifold
Circuit Sports Turbo lines
Greddy Hot Pipe
Stock Intake with Apex Air filter.
Etc.

Is your manifold a T3 or T2 flange?

Everyone on here is going to tell you to go with the Garrett (if they have to choose between the 2), including myself.

This is my turbo of choice for the SR20......

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MHI-TD06 ... 1094wt_939

I ran high 11's and made 370ish whp at 21psi with a GT2871r, tomie 260 procams, and a JWT rom tune. I loved the 2871r but I'm hoping the 20g will make the same numbers without cams. I should have the car on the dyno withthis turbo by 5/1....

I mean, if you plan to only be down for a month and you have 1-2hundred you could try out an ebay turbo just to get back and forth to work if you don't bang on it. Yes, this is bad advice, but I didn't have a bad experience with my ebay turbo on my cheapo build when I was in the US. And this advice is only dependent on your extremely short down time and necessity for getting back and forth to work, and not getting complacent and going drag racing or drifting or long "spirited" drives down the freeway...(even though I did all that with no problem...your experience may vary)
If you have the money though, get the right turbo one time.

of course, this is always an option as well http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Infiniti ... 43a62ffb0f :gapteeth:

Well as of right now, i dont have the money for the turbo i want. But i did order the ISIS T25/T28 replacement turbo $300 for it but need something for right now just till i can get my upgrade. Funny part is that my SR doesnt really hit redline, and once in awhile i go past 85 if i'm bored or in a hurry and yet i got myself a seized turbo....
