Power Strokes 1994-1997 Upgrades and AftermarketUpgrading or adding OEM or aftermarket equipment to your 1994-1997 Ford F-Series with Power Stroke engine.
I have a Garret Turbo and during the install of the Tymar intake we observed that the comp wheel vanes are bent/chipped. I have pretty decent mechanical skills, but not a whole lot of time and not a whole lot of money. Should I rebuild the turbo with a kit from someone (ie Rons Turbo Service) OR replace with a remanufactured turbo (if so, should I go to the 1.0 spooling) OR should I have a mechanic do the rebuild? I will have a week coming for "vacation," so the time might not be too much of an issue. I am just looking for sage advice, so anything that will help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Sorry no easy answers here. I've heard the rebuilds are not that hard, but...Do you tow horses? (they're heavy), Depends on what you want to do with it...could just run it till it gets bad. Shouldn't get much worse once the tymar is on.

l84aropin -- If you attempt the rebuild yourself, here's an excellent article to help you: Turbocharger Removal & Rebuild.
I would only recommend the 1.0 housing for the stock turbo if you have an intercooler to help with the EGTs. The 1.0 housing will give you faster spool-up (acceleration) but you'll lose some of the top end.
Cost-wise, you may even be able to buy a rebuilt turbocharger on eBay to replace yours.
Cheers from Claremore, OK!

Bought a rebuilt from Ron's Turbo Service. It will be here on Monday. I think I will be having some quality time with my truck... I think I am going to try to install it.
