I found this on E-bay, anyone know if these are ok to use as a replacement instead of buying the complete turbo, the part numbers all match up as I have confirmed with mine but wanted to know if someone has gone this route before I put out $250 for one. Thanks. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2005-2007-Jeep-L ... 07&vxp=mtr |

I dont know of anyone who has done a turbo cartridge replacment. Just going off the pictures, it looks like that cartridge does not include any of the parts that make it a variable vane turbo. You would have to transfer all those parts onto the new cartridge during assembly. I have no idea how difficult that is and if you dont know what you are doing could cost you more in the end. |

It has to be balanced on a fancy balancing machine, or so I've heard. There's a LOST member who said he had good luck with a place that rebuilt his for 6 hundred and something. That's almost half a new Garrett. I wouldn't mess with the internals myself as when they go they tend to take out the entire engine

I'll take a closer look at my dead one tonight and make a decision. |

NO NO NO NO NO. Garrett will not even rebuild our turbos. You are wasting time, money, and risking your engine in entirety. You have been warned, I've done my good deed for the day. |
