well, to be real, they are expensive from the manufacturers.... its cheaper to just get an ebay turbo, pop off the bearing housing (6 bolts on compressor, 6 on turbine, pop off compressor nut, slide out shaft, 4 on compressor backplate,and baam you got yourself a brand new center section for ... ~120 shipped?)

ebay turbos sometimes use real center housings (air research, etc..) but its hit and miss... the reason ebay turbos suck is bc they aren't balanced well, and the housings suck(they literally crack), but aside from that the center section's I haven't really heard too many complaints from those.

pretty simple to do as well

I may have a turbonetics center section laying around though, PM me your offer.


oh yeah if you want to go the expensive route

heres a list of 'em
