A while ago i got hold of a set of supra twins to start a turbo project on the car. However if you saw the previous post on this you will see how DHL promptly dropped them and cracked quite a bit of the casting and the turbos wouldnt spin after.

At the moment i have the turbos in pieces and have sourced a repair kit, the housings and castings are at work being polished to a gleam (i'm toying with chroming too but need to look at the heat)

I've just seen a garrett T04 B compressor wheel will go in there as well although i don't have the dimensions to compare yet but i also can't find a source for a new compressor. Must admit the old impellors look ok and i may see if they will dynamically balance as yet

Anyone done their own rebuild/hybrid and any top tips

If all goes horribly wrong i will have alot of TT polished bits for sale for the Arito owners :D

Turbocharger design is a science. I recommend that the first thing to do is some calculations based on the compressow maps to evaluate the suitablility of your intentions.

Sounds interesting, good luck with it :)

the science bit is the fun part its the balancing rotating assemblies that isn't :crying: . Good point though i hadn't put any thought into rotating mass etc and rpm output.

Must admit though typically i work backwards, after it goes bang i work out why it did :blush::hehe:
