Anyone had their stock Garrett turbo rebuilt? Any recommendations on rebuilders?
Garrett states their turbo for this engine is
NOT rebuildable; OEM replacement parts are not available according to posters on this forum.
Unfortunately, both suppliers below says "Out of Stock", on their Web Sites.

Big no on the turbo rebuild kits. We have worked with Garrett for many years and Garrett specifically forbids rebuilding of VNT turbochargers - if a Garrett authorized repair center repairs a VNT turbo they may lose their license. The failure rate is through the roof. Thus, the "rebuild kits" are aftermarket, non-Garrett products and I frankly don't have enough confidence in them to use them myself, so I wouldn't be comfortable recommending to someone.
IDParts lists a NEW Garrett Turbo for this engine on their web site:>

About half the price of a new OEM Garrett!
He lists the following specs on his replacement turbo:
All parts are brand new, we have the turbos made to our specs.
Sasquatch Parts Upgraded Replacement Turbocharger for Jeep Liberty 2.8L CRD
- Upgraded to a larger center shaft with 360° thrust bearing, which distributes and supports the complete thrust load placed on the shaft, whereas the OE turbo 270° thrust bearing covers only a portion of the shaft.
- Modified center section to prevent oil coking issues with the OE turbo.
- Added a CNC billet compressor wheel, which offers increased airflow at a given boost pressure, resulting in faster turbo spool, lower EGTs, and provides superior surge resistance compared to the OE cast wheel.
- 1-year manufacturer’s warranty
