Well I have the Powerhause K27/6 that came off my car. It needs a rebuild and I am torn between sending it off for a rebuild and selling it or offering it up as a rebuildable core?

What does the average turbo shop charge to go through a turbo?

Rebuild it and run it. It's a great turbo.

for that price you can just buy a brand-new kkk turbo.

Rebuild it?



Okay, seriously, I couldn't resist. I would rebuild it, for under $500 you can't buy a new turbo that will perform nearly as well.

I have a botched 27/6 rebuild <long story>, PM me if you consider selling the core.

i did some shopping around for rebuild options when i broke my kkk as well, and found out that a kkk factory-certified rebuild that comes with a 1year full warranty costs around $700. considering you could get a brand-new kkk turbo for that price, i didn't see how a rebuild would be worth it. they might have made sense when these turbos sold for thousands, but with the new garrett dual ball bearing turbos being available, the kkk's are dying like the dinosaurs they are, and the price drops reflect this.

i've heard some horror stories about <$500 backyard kkk rebuilds.

was this a kkk factory rebuild? what type of warranty did it come with? please provide information on this rebuild shop, as i am interested in rebuilding mine as well.

the two units I had built were Garrett at local company, Diesel specialists.
They indicated they were able to rebuild KKK units as well, though I have not had one rebuilt.

Nize, or anybody, how much power do you think that k26/T04e hybrid would put down over a k26/8? I have pretty much the Lindsey 340hp package waiting at the house minus the sport turbo and I'm debating replacing the k26/8. Thanks.

i would highly recommend the garrett dual ball bearing turbo. almost unbelievable, but i have been able to get 17psi by 3krpm and actually had to open the wastegate even more towards redline because the turbo makes so much boost. i'm in the process of updating the datalogs in that post. read my review here;
