I was thinking of getting my turbo refreshed/serviced and possibly go billet.
It's an SC42 twin scroll,to be honest I'm not even sure if it does have billet wheels,how would I know?
What sort of price would I be looking at for this?

Cheers

I would assume if it is a turbo from the ScoobyClinic range of turbo's it has a billet wheel already.SJ.

 

Cheers SJ I will take a proper look when I get chance.
I suppose a referb would involve new wheels anyway?

 

For an indication on price, I saw them for sale at the NEC this weekend for £69. This was for the Subaru variants.

 

I don't think you would get wheels for a basic refurb,it should just be seals and bearings etc.....SJ.

 

A lot cheaper than what I thought!
Would I be correct in thinking this isn't something I would be able to do without specialist tools and gauges?
Once a new wheel is fitted does it then need to be balanced ect?
What else is involved in a turbo refurb?
Sorry for all the questions at once lol just keen to find out if I could attempt this referb or best going to a specialist?

 

These are the basics really.
.SJ.

 

Nice one SJ I will take a look at that when I get home

 

Depends how old the sc42 is, older ones wasn't billet afaik

 

Not sure as it was on the car when I bought it,I suppose the only way to know is to take it off and have a look?

 

Just take off inlet and get a pic of blade, I'm sure will be able to tell from that maybe

 

cheers,thinking of taking up-pipe and headers off when I get some time off work,liked the look of the thread on here recently and I've been told wrapping will help with spool.

 

Well, wrapping will help keep temps to a minimum, I've wrapped my headers, uppipe and half of downpipe with tatanium dei wrap, but it's not cheap stuff.
Just need a turbo blanket for turbo which I havnt got round to just yet
