monty87 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hi guys just wanted you to know I now rebuild turbos to the public.If you have a turbo that needs to be rebuilt Pm me for a quote.All of my rebuilds come with a 1 year warranty and use only Oem or better quality parts.I am posting this is I bought out my friends shop and I now have all the factory tooling to do even more turbo service than before.I have been building and rebuilding turbos for over 8 years, My prices are very reasonable and turn around times are fast. (unless you have some odd ball I have to source parts for) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty87 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yes I do, and all of my work comes with a 1 year warranty for parts and labor.I use only quality Oem parts not the cheep china ebay crap. My overhead is lowso I pass on the savings to my customer. Here is my balance machine I use. http://redatnorthamerica.com/Turbomatic.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuze Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Sounds good but people will be wary unless you can post some references or a website, pics or pricing, etc. Are we talking standard rebuilds, ungrades from 12A to bigger turbos...? That kinda thing. Maybe look into becoming a vendor in the SQ Bazaar for the rebuilds? Good luck sir. Edited September 3, 2014 by Fuze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen405 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Some people may be a little gun shy about this because of a past incident with the samething. However with some patience I bet you'll do great. I really don't want to be a wet blanket I'm just putting that it there. Let's give this guy some business.

monty87 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the reply and concern as I agree fully,I do need a website for sure, I will offer other parts and upgrades as well later, such as intercoolers,fittings,clamps,ect. I want to keep the overhead low so I will design a basic website for now (but will take time).Prices will always very depending on condition of each turbo. for instance my current project is a twin turbo gt 3000. My customer was quoted 500$ each for them to be rebuilt(1000$), I quoted him 300$ per turbo(600$) again my overhead is low so I can charge less.I will service most stock to modified ball bearing turbos. repair times very but will be expedited. I will be fare and honest with everyone, I know this willtake time to establish trust and feedback which will make this successful. Here is some good info http://www.turborepair.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=207:turbocharger-rebuilds-101&catid=44:knowledge-faqs&Itemid=164 I will state that if your turbo is beyond repair, all I will charge you is return shipping. Please ask more questions if you have any. Thanks, Jason Edited September 3, 2014 by monty87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 As long as your dealings here are above board then you should be ok. Don't expect alot of people to jump on right away. You will need to build up some feedback first. This is nothing personal against you. Just alot of members here got burned by a former member. So many here are gun shy about members offering turbo rebuilding. Read about it here.http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=99861 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty87 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I respect that, Wow I just read the link you posted, I myself was burned by a machine shop, I never saw my engine or my deposit (1800$) they closed doors and he ran.I learned a lot from that, you treat others as you want to be treated. I am willing to prove there are good techs but unfortunately there are bad ones too. You have to earn trust and provide reliable product, the word of mouth takes it from there.

BC_99 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I learned a lot from that, you treat others as you want to be treated. I am willing to prove there are good techs but unfortunately there are bad ones too. You have to earn trust and provide reliable product, the word of mouth takes it from there. You stick to that philosophy and you will do fine around here. Like you have already read, there will be some doubters and nay-sayers, but if you are honest with people (tell them the truth, not what you think they want to hear) and can provide a quality service, you will have customers. You aren't gonna get rich from doing stuff for these cars, but you can get a little extra jingle in the pocket from time to time. Be patient and honest and you will make a good name for yourself. Also, please be active on this site in reference to your threads and offerings, and pop in to answer questions every day or so, as people start to get nervous (from past bad dealings) when communication gets light from the vendor. I have a local shop that does all of my turbo work, so I probably wont be a customer of yours, but I do hope you have great success with this endeavor, as it is something that this community could certainly use.

IntercooledFlatty Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 ok i'll jump in. how much to redo a stock 12a, and can you mod it to a 16g ? if so what's the price on that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty87 Posted September 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) The first step in the rebuild process is a full inspection. If any of the hard parts are found to be damaged at this point, I would contact you and give you a full quote for repairing or replacing the parts. There is no upfront payment or deposit required, and you are not obligated to complete the rebuild after you have received a quote (if the rebuild will be much more extensive, or costly, than what you had planned to spend. For your second question, I will have this service but not at this time, I am doing basic upgrades and rebuilds for now, like compressor housings and compressor wheels.In the near future I can take more advance types of projects like mill out 12a compressor housing and installing a 16g wheel in it if that's what you want, but only when I establish a good and reliable machinist.Please keep me in mind and check into see if I am ready. Should be very soon. Edited September 5, 2014 by monty87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty87 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) If you give me a chance I will prove I am a reliable source for your turbo needs. I will stand by my work and parts.I Will be there when you have question and need support.

Guest 87redstar Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 If turbo part sellers sell balanced wheels what good is it for you to rebuild a turbo if the average joe can buy balanced wheels and do it themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty87 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 All the ones I have done have been off, even factory ones, when you have a mass produced part nothing is prefect. I spent a lot of money on the equipment I have now andcan prove that your diy will be off to some degree. The chance of putting a none balanced turbo spinning over 100,000 rpm is not a thing id risk in my engine. But this is justmy opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squrlsquash Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 i have a 12a with good fins, good housings, and a rebuild kit, all apart + cleaned what would you do during your rebuild + what would be the cost?could i send you just the center cartridge (no housings) to be balanced + rebuilt? also, exhaust wheel has some crispy bits on it that wont come off, does it generally get sand blasted?

monty87 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I will be straight forward, I don't use customers kits because I cannot warranty them, nothing against you personally even if its a factory kit I wont do it.As I stated in the above post. The first step in the rebuild process is a full inspection. If any of the hard parts are found to be damaged at this point, I would contact you and give you a full quote for repairing or replacing the parts. There is no upfront payment or deposit required, and you are not obligated to complete the rebuild after you have received a quote (if the rebuild will be much more extensive, or costly, than what you had planned to spend. I think this is fare as I will not give a quote on something I have never put my hands on. I have been told before (My turbo is good just needs a rebuild) Things happen in the mail also, I require you to put insurance on your parts($400 or more) shipped to me and when its done I ship back with insurance ($400 or more depending on the turbo) That way if anything happens we are both covered. The above statement is to protect both party's involved.I media blast all my units because I am a clean freak and I want a fresh clean unit to work with. I charge per piece to be cleaned because there is time and money spent to do so. Yes sending just your center will be less money because less time is involved. hopefully I have covered all of your questions and concerns.

monty87 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) That is a legit question, Sense I have done only my personal projects and lots of friends projects I am putting together a blog for people to right in on.Most of my friends are in the DSM world, But what brought me here in 2008 was I installed a tsi engine in my rally off road Montero rig. I found great support from a lot of you guys.This is why I wanted to open my service to the public now that I have more quality tools to do so.I will post some picks soon on here I do have a little clip from a talon awd stroker motor I built the turbo for.its aDSM BB Green - last checked was 43 lbs of boost Compressor wheel - 73HTAFlow rating - 54LB per minuteCW Measurements - 52.6MM Inducer / 73MM ExducerTW Measurements - 67.3MM Inducer / 58.8MM ExducerCompressor Housing - 84MM Flow Advancement Port CoverTurbine Housing - FP 8CMCHRA - FP Dual Ball Bearing Aprox 600hp Edited September 9, 2014 by monty87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntercooledFlatty Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 it all sounds good, one more question. let's say my stock 12a turbo on my car right now is boosting fine with no leaks and i just want a rebuild , AND nothing is damaged so all that is needed is your inspection showing these results, a media cleaning of parts and housing then the kit and your time, with me covering the shipping cost, what will i owe you ?
