The T25 Turbo

How expensive is it to recon these turbo's?
Are the kits readily available?
And does anybody have a spare T25 for sale for me?

I reconned my Ca18det T25 last year at turbo exchange it costed me R2700
so not cheap at all

Hi, this should be in the technical section.
My shaft snapped last year, bought a secand hand T25 from Vlade...bought a kit from Mr Turbo for about R400 fitted it and took it ito Turbo exchange for balancing which cost me about R200. This was late 2007.
Not too expensive if you do the labour.

Great Stuff.
So do you guys rate the Mr Turbo recon kits?
If so then that is great wallet relief for the future T25 bearing reconditioning!
Thanx for that info Antman!
@Mono TurboXchange is very pricey but their work is redoubtably superb..... 😂 😂

Mine in 2006 cost me R4600. Everything was replaced in it, also by turbo exchange

Depends what was replaced, My S14 turbo was re-done by Turbo exchange for around the same, only "original" part left of my turbo was the center cartridge, they replace turbine and compressor wheels, turbine and compressor housings, shafts and bearings. Practically a new turbo.

Now +-R5000 is exceptable for a new T28.
