Ok thanks.
i read a lot about blown turbos on here so maybe a spare wouldn't be a bad idea. That guy listed it as new ..

| Post subject: | Used turbo? |
hi everyone, 2005 sport 2.8 It's been a while since I've worked on my jeep. It's been parked at 110k miles due for timing belt. Time for rockers, timing belt, water pump, weeks 1+ 2, hoses etc. I took a look at my turbo and it's got some play up front at the intake boot. Bearings? Is a little play normal? I have a shot at a low mileage used turbo. Is that a viable option? it supposedly was pulled at 26k miles. It's been sitting up since 2009. Let me know I've been looking at the sasquatch .. P |

P As long as it's the same turbo, go for it! I would just make sure it is a genuine Garrett and doesn't have a lot of play, itself. If it was pulled from a vehicle that was removed from service for something unrelated, I see no problem as long as the price is right. |

How much is the used turbo. Remember that the sasquatch is theoretically an upgrade with the billet wheel and what not. I dont know how much of a diff it makes seeing as boost is controlled by the ECU very precisely but that is the way I would go if I needed a turbo ASAP. |

he's asking 275.00. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-Jeep-Liber ... OL&vxp=mtr now that my engine is open to do TB and rockers, i can get the turbo and see the throat. It's got some play, but not terrible like you see on youtube. was wondering what's normal for them and whether it's a good idea to preemptively replace it |

For a rebuildable Genuine Garrett, considering how proud they are of their new stuff, that's a really good price even if it does have a little play. But if yours spins true and the wheels don't contact housing, it's basically the same as what you already have..? |
