Put our turbocharger rebuilding knowledge and obsessive attention to detail to work for you. When Tim’s Turbos rebuilds your turbocharger, it will be like new – or better – when we ship it back.
Our Turbocharger Breakdown and Cleaning Process
After identifying the turbocharger and vehicle, we etch out the rotation, tear it down to each individual part, and determine the factors that may have caused the turbocharger to fail. All reusable parts are examined and measured for any signs of wear.
Major casting parts are tumbled and de-burred, and all sharp edges are broken down. (If you’re under the hood as much as we are, your knuckles will thank us!) Oil gales are cleared out and hot tanked. After the initial cleaning and inspection, all parts are ultrasonically cleaned.
The Turbocharger Rebuild
All Tim’s Turbos rebuilds include bearings, thrust bearings, seals, O-rings, piston rings, thrust parts, nuts, and bolts. If we need to replace worn turbine wheels, housings, and/or compressor wheels, we will provide you with an updated estimate before we finish the rebuild – we don’t like a surprise bill anymore than you do.
Assembly will be blue printed, and each part of the rotor group (compressor and turbine wheel) will be straightened and balanced using competition turbo balancing on our Heins TC3 machine (we balance beyond factory specs). Finally, we conduct VSR testing to ensure the turbocharger rebuild is up to our standards and performing at peak potential.
Naturally, we’ll let you know if any upgrades are available for your turbocharger, such as compressor wheels, turbine wheel clipping, wastegate porting, thrust bearings, etc.
Standard turbocharger rebuilding costs starts out a 3.5 hours labor at $90 an hour Plus parts and machine work to complete a correct rebuild. While Marine, VNT and VGT turbos start at 6-10 hours labor. You will be charged a $90 estimate before the rebuild begins and have access to our knowledgeable technicians before, during, and after the rebuild. The Estimate charge will be waved upon a rebuild. If you do not proceed with the rebuild we will not reassemble the turbocharger.
