Way to go, you got me thinking about slapping on a set of bolt on turbos next year. Nice pricing to BTW.

Hmmmm decisions, decisions.

What would the price be on a 15g to 19t upgrade? Mine were already converted from 9b's so I don't have cores

We could do that several ways, You could sell your turbos as 15G's and I'll use a set of 9b's I've got or if your 15G's were in good shape and didnt need a rebuild, I could just machine your compressor housing and then balance the assembly with the new 19T wheels. I'll take a look at my pricing for the parts when I get home and let you know what the actual cost for an upgrade from 15G to 19T would run.

Awesome thanks, I'm diagnosing an oil burning issue right now, and suspect that my rear turbo seals may be blowing some oil and burning it I'm hoping that it's just my PCV system tho, I've added a catch can so the rear head doesn't vent to the rear turbo pipe anymore, so I'm hoping it will fix my between shift puff of smoke

I may be interested in this same upgrade this spring. My 15Gs are new with about 1200 miles on them but have had two spun bearing motors during that time. There's no shaft play but I would feel better if they were professionally cleaned...and maybe "enlarged"

That's def a good idea to have them rebuilt. The longer you run them the more chance you have of doing damage. I just rebuilt a set of turbos that had 500 miles on them since a spun bearing. Guy put a new motor in but didnt change the oil cooler or flush out the turbos. They had no shaft play at the time of the guy spinning the bearing. In that 500 or so miles the bushings and the turbine shafts managed to go on them to the point where when I got the turbos I had to replace both turbine shafts.

Let me know, if you just want the 15G's rebuilt I can do that or if you want them upgraded we can do that too.

Sounds good! Once my bike sells, we're in business.

Thanks man, btw big fan of your car. Amazing what weight mods can do for your 1/4 mile time.

I can only imagine how fast your car would be if you upgraded the turbos!

Only $900 for a set of 19t's?? Thats crazy. My rear 9b was blown, i just took it apart today and it cracked the bearing, can it still be used as a core? Can i send you the turbos first to get around the core charge?
