das280zx Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I need to get my 280zx turbocharger rebuilt. Does anybody know of a place near Seattle that does quality turbo rebuilds? I found a place down in Kent (i think) called Alamo Turbochargers. They quoted me $350 bucks. I guess that is reasonable, but seems a little high. My turbo isn't it that bad of shap, just oozes oil out while its sitting so I have a nice huge cloud of smoke when i start her up! Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Sounds cheap to me. One of the most famous turbo places in USA is in Tacoma. Quote Link to comment
das280zx Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Yeah maybe I will just take it to that Alamo place. I tried rebuilding the thing myself once, but that didn't fix the oil leaking problem. Pretty sure I didn't know what I was doing. I wanted to just replace it with a new GT series Garrett turbo, but they are alot of money! I just don't think I can spend that kinda dough right now. Especially considering the fact that it would need a little bit of fabrication to make it mate up to my exhaust and whatnot. Quote Link to comment
