K14 Turbo Rebuild Suggestions

Post by Iceworx »

Afternoon campers,

I need to get a JX K14 Turbo rebuilt, as the oil seals have gone.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend someone to do this, and what sort of ball park area price wise I would be looking at.

I've never had to get a turbo rebuilt before, so any recommendations would be warmly received.

Thanks :)

Well i've had prices from two local places, both said it's balanced and carries a 12 month warranty.

I was wondering if there was someone who could give a good recommendation of someone they have used previously
