Turbo Mini Forums

Hi my t3 turbo is no good so ime looking into getting another
ive looked on ebay at t3 turbos but theres loads too choose from can someone please tell me which ones are suitable for my standard metro turbo thanks chaps.
ive got my old turbo so can take bits from that to make up one.

:)

there are many different types of t3, its the metro / mini version you need if you want to keep it standard, the others are for much larger engines

Rebuild it with new seals and bearings? or buy a center core completely balanced and use old housings? :)

hi what will need replacing if i rebuild it. where do you get those center cores from then
thanks regards Lee....:)

A £30 rebuild kit from eBay is sufficient to resolve most problems. There's also lots of guides if you google.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

ok ive found a rebuild kit on ebay theres loads of guides on google but whats the best guide you lads use to rebuild them i havent got a clue so lots of pics and easy to understand please:) thanks chaps.

From experience, when you come to strip the T3, soak the bolts that hold the exhaust turbine section in liberal amounts of WD40 over several days, as I didn't do this and ended up snapping two bolts costing me to have them helicoiled

Don't forget to mark the compressor wheel and shaft! :)

lee, get a kit and bring it oves mine and il help you do it.

13.95 1/4 mile on a 2.95 fd. Carnt be that hard to beat!
