I believe the IHI ball bearing turbos were hand built specials on the Ghibli Cup. Anyone know for certain someone capable of reconditioning such a turbo. I'm not interested in possibilities. I'm looking for somewhere that's done it and knows what they're doing. Not wishing to sound arrogant, but this is a very special application. It has to be the best. TIA.

The best turbo people I know of are Owen Developments Nr oxford, they are the only Garret Motorsport turbo distributor and service centre in the UK and deal with many Hibrid and special units, they custom made one for me from new for my race car, You will need to speak to Mark, sorry I do not have a number to hand but google owen developments turbo and you'll get them.

Thank you very much. This is just the answer I was hoping for. Stupidly, I've come across them before, and forgotten about them. Thanks again.

Thanks again Tim. My friend who owns the Cup went through the history file. Turns out they rebuilt the motor and converted it to Motec ECU. They should remember the car, so that's the best we could have hoped for. Star larker smile
