Gpop do a search on google you will find them. They do fantastic work.
Update incase anyone else reads this. The garret 2860 turbo is a ball bearing turbo, so in a sense it is not rebuildable. You can buy a center section for the turbo and just swap over your housings if they are not damaged. OR just buy a whole new turbo.

Phil,
Any Garrett distributor should be able to handle this for you. I use Turbo's Direct in Arizona when I have any issues.

they rebuilt mine after i had an oil pump go out. cheaper than a new center section. pretty quick turn around time (couple weeks iirc)

Roughly how much?
$700 for center section. Anyone running a BD turbo id recommend getting a different oil pump
I'm not running boonie for my turbo, but I am curious what pump they were using and what pump you switched too?
G
Same here, what pump should the "upgrade" be?

That is a loaded question since there are a TON of ways your turbo can fail. Seems like most common is the oil pump failure? is fairly sudden and short of a pressure switch would be hard to detect.

From what I've seen...if you center section seals are toast, you will have coolant and turbo oil in your charge tube, which leads to your motor, which leads to a erradict running motor. You will definately know if you seals are gone. If your bearings and internals of your center section are shot, you will hear alot of noises coming from the turbo itself. Like ball bearings bouncing around in your turbo also metal grinding on metal.

I went with a pump from cutler performance. They have used the same pump on there turbo kits for 9 years and have yet to have one fail. They said they have replaced quite a few of the BD pumps. Price was $180. BD wants like $375 for theres.

Is theirs a proprietary pump or is it a walbro FRA-4 or something?
