what to do? ...bad reman air compressor?

Just put a new reman holset compressor on a N14, got about one month out of it, now it’s passing oil already. Parts house says they’ll get me another or refund the money. I heard about a guy on here going through like 4 or 5 reman’s before getting a good one, but I think his was bendix i don’t know.

Thing is, I don’t think they make new anymore and the one Cummins has is a reman to for $1500, compared to my rebuilt which was $700, holset casting, 3rd party rebuilt.

I was thinking rebuild myself, or take it to somebody... idk, maybe a different air compressor model/brand. Any thoughts, tips or suggestions? I’d sure hate to keep installing and uninstalling. Took me about 5-10 hours to do it. Granted I know how to do it now but still. What pain.

thanks in advance

 

Any bites back on this topic? ...

 

i might have to do just that, jeez. Maybe I could find a rebuild kit and assemble it myself. I wonder why their remans aren’t holding up and what I could do to make it better?

 

Does Bepco make for the n14? And I’m not 100% on the restriction. I’ve had the small pipe off, from the compressor intake to the intake manifold. It’s squeaky clean. That would leave the intake manifold itself, charge air cooler and..? Air filter/turbo and piping? Or... how would I check that ?

 

Bepco. Ok I see this one. I think my wife sells Bepco at her shop actually
