Curious if there are shops locally that can do this properly? I would never trust anyone to rebuild or replace the center cartridge in a Garret BB turbo… out of 10-15 rebuilds i’ve known about every signle one has failed, but i think the seals are much easier to replace… Would only trust a specialized turbo-manufacturer or rebuilder… not a shop with a guy who has done this before. ---

The cartridge comes out of the box from garret, assembled and balanced. All you do is put your housings on. Jim from J&R ([monster-tubro.com](http://monster-tubro.com)) got my cartridge for me. Good friend of mine. He can swap it for ya if you want but it’s really basic. If you need to get a hold of him let me know. The website is old. He’s no longer in Brampton and the number changed. ---

BB center sections are NOT rebuildable by ANYONE except garret… Period…end of story. Once you pull the shaft out, your SOL. Unless someone has some hard evidence other wise??? I have spoken to a NUMBER of turbo shops all over North America. They all said NOT rebuildable once I mentioned it was a BB. Replaceing a center section is childs play though… but at that price you may as well send your turbo back blown for a credit on a brand new turbo.
