PICS: Is this rebuildable? Questions?
I bought this for $375. What do you think?
Its an XS T04S. There is about 1/8" shaft play and the compressor wheel rubbed the housing a little. It smokes a little, but still boosts o.k. My questions are: A. Do you think that the compressor wheel will need to be replaced? B. In general what will it cost to rebuild it? C. After researching a little I have seen that most people are making right around 400rwhp at 14-15 psi on pump gas. But the effiecency of this turbo is around 17-22 psi or so. I'm guessing that with a healthy port job and about 22psi(with mods to support) you would see around 480-500 rwhp on the dyno? Is this correct or am I way off? D. Lastly do you guys think that I should buy the rest of the kit (manifold, WG, Downpipe) from XS or should I piece it together from different vendors? Which would be more cost effective? Everyones help is really appreciated. I searched around and did a good bit of research before asking these questions but I didn't really find answers. Again, Thanks |

J,
Thanks alot man. I appreciate you sharing the knowledge. As far as 400whp at 14-15 psi Wargasm just did it. He put down 396whp at 14.5 psi in 105' room at KDR. His ratios were right around 11-11.5. Very safe streetable tuning. He didn't even mess with the timing. He could probably pull another 15-20 whp if he changed the timing around a little...correct? Best part is Wargasm only lives about 1/2 hr away from me. As far as switching from a HKS to a Turbonetics compressor wheel...What would you do? Is there an advantage? I'm actually pretty mechanically inclined. I work for Mercedes and turn wrenches all day. I'll probably end up piecing the kit together like you did. If you see any sweet deals on things I'll be able to use let me know. Thanks alot J. Justin |

Justin Either way, COST is probably going to be the deciding factor between the HKS 60-1 and the turbonetics 60-1(since if you switch to the turbonetics, you'll have to buy the backplate also:( ) |
Actually Wargasm is running a PFC...Not bad HUH?
Who would you reccomend for a good rebuild? |
