Hey guys,

I blew up my alpha 28's. I had sent them out to be rebuilt by a company called Durabuilt who claimed they could rebuild the turbos. After less then 500 miles they were toast. Now I am looking for a pair of K24/18g turbos. If you have a set please let me know.

Also anyone know if there will be a huge difference in performance by switching to the K24s?

 

Oh boy... you should have sent them to tial...

 

I know AMS had a set or two sitting on there shelves, give them a call.

Sorry to hear this.

 

Always a disappointment when something goes wrong.
Make it right, these are great turbos. Send them to Tial and have them properly repaired.

 

Sorry to hear, goodluck with your search.

 

How exactly did they blow up if you don't mind me asking?

 

Umm yeah...turbos just don't blow up. bad oil or no oil are really the only thing that can kill a turbo..unless you sucked something into them...Do you know what happened originally, when you mistakenly sent them to someone other than Tial?

 

Im not sure if this isnt his second set/repair... something else is up...

 

Major boost leak(s) and consistantly overspinning turbos for an undetermined amount of time?

 

Are the a28's rebuildable? Id trade my 18g billets for them if the rebuild isnt too expensive.

 

put alpha 30s on

 

What a bummer man! Good luck getting it sorted out.
