Might be worth it though ion. The reason I have spent so much rebuilding the vortech is because I am keeping it forever! Whatever car I own, the charger will be modded to work on it. So, its a lifetime investment in my case... just food for though man

this turbo is not a lifetime investment to me. my main concern with this is to replace the wheel to be like it was before, and to have a nice new tubular manifold and a totally leak-free exhaust. fixing that big leak pre-turbo will make a huge difference.

the engine is the critical item to me. everything else is modular as far as i'm concerned.

Response from a turbo building acquaintance:

here's a photo of what it looks like. (the example shows one powder coated)
This is not a Forced Performance compressor wheel





I'm able to do it as long as the cartridge and turbine wheel/shaft are in good order. It takes about 4 days, and you're looking at $500 to make, install and rebalance. (It would have to be rebalanced even if I had a new OEM GT3076R.

Let me know if this is a possibility for you.

What does a new GT3076R go for?
Seems like a decent price.....my new cylinder heads are nearly 4x that.
And they won't add 50HP.

$1400 for a new turbo.
$500 for billet wheel.

$63 for standard wheel. (Just ordered this.)

Yeahhhhh I need my money to be used elsewhere. The turbo manifold is enough of a big change for now, and if I want to upgrade this turbo I can easily take it back off due to everything being v-banded. (At that point I would likely get a new GTX series turbo)

UPDATE

I found a brand new compressor wheel coming off a guy's turbo that's getting a billet one. Buying the factory one and returning the eBay one. Also powdercoating the compressor like the turbo above.


Also I'll be getting a TiAL stainless all v-band turbine housing.


Ordered a new intercooler.

And so expensive. WTF, I can't find that housing anywhere cheaper than $405 shipped from ATPTurbo.. most places sell it for $450.

Ordered the housing.

Tried to cancel the eBay compressor wheel, and obviously English is not the seller's first language. I contacted him immediately the next day about cancelling and he gives me an e-mail like:

well noted, we will check with

anything we
could help, please kindly let us know.

happy bidding.

And then 2 days later I get an e-mail saying:

Tracking number -> RR014667430TW
Tracking website ->

please
contact us for refound information once you recieve the item

Yeah I'm sure if I ship this thing internationally back to them and request a refund it will get lost/damaged and take a month to get sorted out.
