Dang, that's cheaper than buying another turbo

That was my thought. The one I have has very low miles but the said it would pretty much be a new Turbo when I get it back. I'm thinking that will be my best option

sounds like a good deal to me

i think you will save a bit of money or break even rather than buying a new S259 ETT or S362 ETT

i don't know how much that turbo could bring it on resale...so this may be the way to go.

Will they include a new warranty with the upgraded wheel then?

^ you know what i never asked, I will ask the. just said they would machine it all install the new wheel balance it all out and whatever else they do. This turbo still looks new d-bo lol. But i would really like to hit the 600whp mark with fast spool. still kinda stuck on what to do for my fuel setup tho

I already have this turbo so $550 vs almost $2000 for a gtx35 yeah better off going with the S256 with upgraded 59 wheel i think.

lol when you send it the turbo they will probably say "wtf... this thing is like brand new?!"

i seriously put maybe 30 miles on it, 2 hours of idle time and 3 hours on the dyno Lol

$550 seems a bit low for the wheel, installation, and balance work. If the price is correct, its a good deal. You should have no problem making 600whp on E85 with enough fuel and a good tune.
