Dave, Dave, Dave......

There are plenty around - but search is your friend.

The ONLY way to go is Kevin @ UMW. Guru status #1.

I've heard good things about blouch but I don't trust them. They did work on my turbos and I'm quite sure there was nothing actually wrong with them. (they were smoking, and I later learned it was due to a clogged oil sump vent). Their prices seem very fair, though.

I believe that Mike (Barney1) used Blouch for his turbos. Apparently some highly recommended tuners use him for their turbos. PM Mike for more info.

Kevin's turbos have worked well for me so far.

Kevin does an excellent job. But if its just a "rebuild" w/no mods, your choices are broader and Blouche is credible. I just can't imagine who has the discipline to just get them rebuilt...and not at least a little massaged.

From Blouch's website:

When I had my 993 I really liked Kevin at UMW but otherwise everyone else here likes
Kevin at UMW. If I had another 993 I would use Kevin at UMW however. Those are the
3 guys I would trust.
