How much do you want for it?

any bolt on still needs flange adaptors and new oil + water lines so it will end up costing more, as for the cheap aftermarket ct26's i would stay away from them, even the kinugawa stuff looks really bad and I have read a few horrow storys on the supra forums about their gear.

I don't drive mine daily so I suppose I could sell mine early if your interested.

"aftermarket" and "bolt straight on" doesnt happen mate
maybe hit up dylmrt for a factory 3sgte turbo

How much would you want for it? Only problem though is that I want it fixed ASAP.

What would be some options for aftermarket ones which dont cost heaps which bolt straight on?

Mine has had a full rebuild including machining for larger seals, new shaft / turbine wheel and is hight flowed with a 57 trim garrett wheel,I did the rebuild and all the machine work and balancing was done by rotomaster distribution,

I am only going to sell it as im upgrading to a Garrett GTX3071r,

I have no idea how much play it has, never had a look.

Mine is hi-flowed, has yours been rebuilt recently? I got a quote, $450 to $650.

How much play is in the turbo? if its very minimal I might be able to help you with a cheap rebuild,

Also if you wanting to upgrade I will be selling my high flowed ct26 in a few weeks.

Hmmm might just get a quote and if its too much get a CT20

a rebuild/hiflow/new wheel will most likely cost you more than a second hand 'CT20b', not to mention laggier.

What's a rough pricing for that to get done? Going to get a price tomorrow hopefully, just want to know if they are ripping me off as I have no idea.

Or would I be better off getting a second hand CT20 over rebuilding my CT26 with T04E wheel?

i've had this problem on lots of 3SGTE's and its almost always the turbo seal.
it is a tiny piston ring and they often get gummed up with carbon. in about 50% of cases these days, the housing where it runs is worn out and has to be bored out and an oversized ring fitted. any competent turbo shop will do this, or we have reco ones on the shelf.
