Pine apples
so in my ongoing search for a shop to rebuild my engine I have found a place in oregon called pineapple racing. Sounds like a good deal. 5k+ for an oil system upgrade and new rotor housings and ofcourse all seals. Thr price even includes a heavy duty water seal. Has anyone been to them for a rebuild?

For $5k you are getting new housings and that is about $1100-1200 of the cost right there. New housings are the most important part to replace with new when doing a rebuild. Then you have about another $1k? for the rebuild kit (hard and soft seals). Keep these things in mind when comparing companies to rebuild. Compare apples to apples.

Someone just told me this: most oil system modifications are bullshit, especially if you have a turbo motor. it can and probably will cause more issues of oil burning through the turbos right off or down the road. the more you raise the oil pressure the more it has to be detuned going through the turbos or it will be forced past the carbon seals and cause damage to the turbo seals.
Can someone clarify please?
