I have talked to a local rebuild company off garretts site. They are located in Rochestor. I also talked to a guy in Penn. Both Said with a rebuild it will be 800-900 $. The gt’s are rebuildable. ---

Ok…have a gt28R, spoke to garret and Morgan about it. The new center section is 850…I paid 775 for the turbo new about ten years ago. Which means to replace it i would have to pay for a new CHRA…which is more than i paid for the turbo. See how i did that? Not to mention the gt-28r is no longer in demand…so center sections are hard to come by…I know because when i toasted mine i looked into rebuilding it and found very little.
