There is no edit, i found that out a while back lol (i asked)Originally Posted by Clouse
How much did the pump rebuild cost? time?
i found a place in the UK that sells reman pumps for 360 shipped, didnt see anything about a core charge
There is an edit, you need to be a donator to allow that and selling items to be allowed in this forum. Simple donation unlocks EDIT functions for life and gives you a DONATOR banner under name in the profile column of all your post.
Also, if your searching for parts online for our trucks, car-part.com might be able to help you if you do not require it to be new. This is a huge wrecking yard database that ships to your home if required.
Thanks, good to know, I'll be sure to donate soon, I like this forum and tend to make plenty of errors when posting. I'll be needing that edit function haha
I paid $650 to have mine rebuilt. It was spendy, but I was worried about trying to buy a remanned one online. I also had an 83' pump, and I have no idea if there really is any difference, but I remember reading that the 83' pumps were desirable for some reason.
I got a call back from the turbo shop in California, I've gotta say, these are some of the best people I've ever dealt with. Amazing customer service, they spent 30 minutes on the phone with me talking about my rebuild options. Turns out my turbo was pretty much junk, the exhaust wheel was all chewed up. Fortunately this shop had a spare TD-05, so they're going to rebuild that, use my intake housing and install a slightly larger compressor wheel. This should raise the stock boost from 12psi to hopefully 16psi. With the boost increase, intercooler, and (slightly) turned up injection pump I'm really hoping to have a noticeable increase at the butt dyno.
I'll make another update when I receive the rebuilt turbo in the mail.
A big thanks to Mike Warme, without his help and recommendations my truck project would have ended a while back. He suggested this turbo shop in Van Nuys, and I couldn't be happier with them. THANKS again Mike!
changing the turbo wont change the boost lol
im assuming yours had the no wastegate TC05? otherwise i am curious how they are putting a td05 in a td04 cartridge/hotside lol
it is a shame they wear out every 50k or so. If you had the TC05 getting it rebuilt is a waste, i would trash the turbo, reuse the hotside with a td05 turbo, a starion 12a is bigger than the stock TC05 11b if i remember right
lol i just seen your turbo pic, yea thats a tc05, wish i could find one, could take my td04 off lol
