Anyone need their turbos rebuilt?

BI State Customs are rebuilding twin turbos now for $700. You just send them yours and they will rebuild them and send them back to you. Turnaround is 3 days from when they receive them. They can also upgrade your twins to flow up to 420rwhp.

Here is their address and phone number:

Thought this might help out some of you.

You're better off calling their shop for prices and ask for Ron.

I can vouch for Bi-State's work. I had mine done there right before Midwest Revolution (end of April). So when I got the car back it was taken out to Indy and took a beating on the drag and a couple times on the autocross. Thats probably the hardest I could hit ever work those turbos and they are hanging in beautifully.

editted to let you know I didn't get the upgrade, I just had mine rebuilt.

The secondary is just f-ed. It's almost seized. The primary looks great and has little play. They are still on th emotor, so I'm not sure if they are crakced or not. Just wondering if your have spare parts on hand if they are neccessary.

They're working on pricing for their upgraded units right now but I can vouch that the prices will be considerably less than other competitors.

does Bi State Customs have a web site??? I was going to send my turbos off to BNR for the Stage 2 or 3 rebuilt but if Bi State is cheaper then I might just change my mind!

also what kind of warranty comes with the turbo rebuild. I believe BNR has a 1 year warranty, this could be the deciding factor!

They're actually working on a website now so it will be up soon.

BI State Customs also offer a 1 year warranty.

Eric,
In the process of making 420hp, are the seals upgraded? Could you please provide more specifics as to what is being upgraded?

Thanks,
Max

Which seals are you refering to?

With the 400+ package you will get the standard rebuild plus the following.

-Heavy Duty Shaft Ring Seals
-Completely digitally Balanced
-Ported Wastegate
-Turbine Wheels Clipped
-Both of your primary and secondary compressor wheels are upgraded.
-Heavy Duty upgraded thrust bearings
-Both Cartridges are bead blasted and high temp coated

Note: This is not the $700 package, prices for this are soon to come and well worth it.

Hope this helps
