The new turbos don't look very new

Yeah looks like studs are too short. Will need to put the proper ones in.

 

What causes them to pit like that? Wintertime metal etching road surface spray? I got a Cat reman for my 3126B and other then the tag on it and the scars on the paint from them throwing it in the box still wet it looked close to new. Could tell the iron exhaust side was used.
As far as the manifold nuts and studs are concerned maybe those guys have a trade secret and found out that is the way to keep them from breaking like usual.

I’d me more pissed they got yellow paint on my black frame or anything else that should not have overspray on it because masking it off was to hard for them. But that’s the details person I am. Lol!

 

I looked again at the pic due to your comment.

That's not lack of detail, that's just WRONG! Not even my rig and that irritates me. Good gawd they didn't t even have to tape it off , but they couldn't even lay a piece of mask paper over it.

 

Not Cat reman or new turbo P/N's. They are referencing Garrett P/N's, with a SRT in front of number. I assume SRT probably is a suffix for some S? Rebuilt Turbo.

 

Garrett is a huge manufacturer of turbos. I wouldn't worry too much. If they were cheap China turbos I wouldn't even start it up to drive it to a shop.

 

Smaller world time!!

23 yrs ago I hit bottom and got off the booze & drugs in Jeffersonville, plus met and married my wife there, she had been Louisville for many years prior. We lived several years in Okalona before moving to Az.

Well that was fun!

 

Not sure whose turbo they are, need to ask the repair shop that installed them. Look rebuilt, not remanufactured which means only replace what was broken and wear parts.
