Does anyone have a recommendation for a turbo rebuilder? The turbo on my 603 is only putting out approx 4 psi boost. All other possible causes of low boost have been eliminated.

Thanks,

Many people have had excellent experiences with them! Talk to Robert.

Thanks,

Will give Robert a call.

Have you tried to adjust the wastgate spring?

I found a rebuilder online, but they wanted $950. Performance Products has rebuilt units between $660 and $780 depending on year. Wait for the 15% off sale

Wray,

A friend of mine used Forced Performance and said they really knew their stuff. He had them make a custom turbo for his VW TDI.

Look in the phone book for diesel injection service places, they will all rebuild turbos. I did my Volvo 740's a few years back for $450, with express shipping for the parts.

I had a turbo rebuilt after my 300D started using oil from the leaky bearings. I am very pleased with Majestic Turbo, they even sent the housing to a metal coating (powder coat?) outfit to have it "painted" (mind you that regular paint would never last long at the temps Turbos operate at) and its rsut free some 1+ years later. I really am happy about the appearance. I hate to see a rusty ANYTHING under the hood, especially my Turbo!
Their web site has a nice assembly view of the Garrett T3 (?) turbo that many 300D/TD/SD used, and is worth looking at even if you don;t need their rebuilding services. http://www.majesticturbo.com/

Good luck!

Was that Majestic of Waco, TX, or Majestic of Dallas, TX?

They don't seem to be part of the same company.

Pardon my dumb question. The website obviously goes to the Waco company.

If it's not leaking, making noise, or vibrating I dobt it needs to be rebuilt. Double check the fittings and hoses, then try adjusting the waste gate, they seldom give problems and even a bad one still works pretty good.

Yes, the MajesticTurbo I used is in Waco.
I agree about not rebuildng unless its making noise or leaking badly. The rebuilt unit is great, but I believe the spool-up time is a little slower than when it had loose, leaky bearings. Or maybe that is something else related to the engine rebuild.
