Turbocharger Core Question

canadam · 01-10-2008, 12:40 AM

I thought I once read that ceramic JDM turbos were not eligible for the core refund. However, I don't see it in your "core notes". Does my memory serve me correctly?

Thanks Ken, do you know the costs of an upgrade , steel wheel and the approximate turn-around time?

Are you able to rebuild CT20b's? I didn't know that ceramic turbos were rebuildable - I thought the lock nut would crack when being taken off

Sorry, out of parts to rebuild CT20's. No foreseeable source either.

If you want a ceramic CT27 and you send a ceramic JDM core that is no problem. If you want a steel CT27 and send in a ceramic core we're going to ding you for $100 extra.

BTW I don't recommend ceramic for above 16 psi boost. They break. Below that you've got a good chance of survival.

So you're looking at $950 to turn a Ceramic CT26 into a CT27 w/ steel wheel?
