I would pay for the best they had.You don't want to suck blades down your engine.

The merc Compressor housing is a proprietary design-You would have to figure out a way to adapt from the standard 'lipped' outlet to the Mercedes connector.

I do not remember if it was on this Forum or Benzworld but some one was asking which Compressor end seal he needed for his Turbocharger.

As it turns out there is 3 different types of seals. Certain makes of Cars have Turbos that use the other 2 Seals.

Also besides the noted Compressor Housing differences the Exhaust Pipe Flanges can be different.

Turbo Charger

I'd get the "Correct" Turbo from a Recycler and install a Re-Build Kit yourself!

($129.00 for a Working Turbocharger Is Insane !!!)

[I'd suspect someone Just Sandblasted the Exterior and slapped it on Flea Bay]

Chinese junk castings. You will soon blow holes in the exhaust side or break blades. Best rebuild your old one.
If you were dishonest & selling the car, it may look nice with a new turbo. Buyer be aware!!!!!!

would like to do that but I'm still confused about success rate
as I have no testing (balancing) device. "Mark a bolt" technique does not
convince me at all ...


besides I would need new shaft and fins.....as mine are slightly damaged

(I'm currently seeking a larger Inducer equipped Compressor Wheel,
Which means ,Of Course the Compressor housing must be Machined also.)

You list "Europe" as home base

Ask Here:

G-Pop Shop

I'd be VERY cautious about Getting ONLY Garrett Parts (As Opposed to P.R.C. Junk)

If the Flea Bay sellers in the E.U. list Telephone Numbers talk to them.
