Emmet Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Hi, my mechanic told me today that my turbocharger needs an overhaul :-( Any recommendations ? Thanks
N201MKTurbo Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 I've always used Approved Turbo Components. They have always done top notch work. The funny thing is, they are about a block away from Main Turbo. I needed my pressure controller overhauled, it is a special part number for the M20 Turbos setup. I called them up and they said they didn't have the capability to overhaul that part. Then they said to wait and they would call me back. Within two hours they contacted the manufacturer and got overhaul instructions, sent it all off to the FAA and the FAA faxed back the repair authorization. I love those guys!
Emmet Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Posted July 3, 2015 We found that the impeller has scratched metal of one side of the housing. Interestingly there is no noticable radial play but unequal gaps between the impeller and the housing. Probably a misalignment from the last overhaul ...?
Tony Armour Posted July 6, 2015 Report Posted July 6, 2015 I used Approved Turbo in their Florida location eight years ago. They had one in stock overnighted and still fine today. Great pricing back then too.
