I don’t know, i have a stock ca18det and i figured stick with direct bolt ups and i should have no problems. Do you have any names of shops that can do this, i have no idea where to start. ---

Alamo wants like 450 for a basic rebuild. I like that semi shop idea though. ---

Alamo does good jobs… but make sure they assemble you turbo properly as when i got mine back the housing was facing the wrong way. Had to go buy a tool to turn it. ---

> [@Mightaswell](#): > > Alamo wants like 450 for a basic rebuild. I like that semi shop idea though. What turbo was that for, because i just phoned and they said they dont rebuild t25/t28 because they are ball bearing. Are they ball bearing? ---
