I got aet to refurb my smokey turbo - and upgrade to 360 thrust bearings (or something like that) on my old garrett t25. Cost over £400 - but a refurb kit would have been over £100 and I don't have the resources to re-balance the turbo. Get what you pay for imo.

I dont understand what costs 400 and what costs 100 im confused lol

The full rebuild cost £400
The up rated 360 degree bearing that was fitted as part of the refurb would have been @ £100 alone

The bearing is just 1 part of the turbocharger
