how much does a set of ballbearings cost for the T28 69F00 .are there places where i can search for it or is there anyone who knows ..

SuprAdam

ball bearing turbos can not be rebuilt.

Tur'b'onaldo

? whynot?

SuprAdam

In a ball bearing turbo the whole cartridge must be replaced so it is quite costly. It is not the same as rebuilding a standard turbo.

Machismo

yes that is true they change the whole cartrige
if you are lucky you might get a descent deal on the rebuild
if not you might as well buy a better turbo

was it oil and water cooled ?
if it was only oil cooled look for a turbo that as both it will last longer next time

Not really, just have a propper oil cooler setup/turbo timer.

Machismo

still i think it is better to have both option plus it dosnt cost extra

SuprAdam

Sure it does, extra lines cost more money.

And it is more places for leaks to occour.

And it is a pain in the *** to remove a water cooled turbo without it leaking everywhere.

Whatever, to each their own.

Machismo

with the setup iam runing now and for the peace of mind it gives me
i think it is a great option to have
i personaly never had leak problems it is not hard at all to install
and one way or the other after playing with a turbo charged car
i always make sure every thing is functionale and go over the setup twice
to make sure there is no leak

at this point in the game if i would be worried over a 20$ pice of line
id start looking in a new hobby LOL

SS braided teflon hose and fittings can get pricey.

I have used both water/oil and just oil cooled turbos and I just prefer the oil cooled for ease of install/removal and a cleaner look. Most large turbos are oil cooled only.
