Yeah will get a billet depending on price. Hopefully i can get the turbo sorted month end with either a replacment or refurbing this one, all depends on pricing. But dont see why i need to replace this turbo if shaft play is non existent, so will just get wheel replaced.Spannie said:

If you gonna fix the compressor wheel save urself the hassle and put in a new seal kit and have the turbo balanced while it’s out.
Yes u gonna spend a little more, but you wouldn’t wanna have to remove the turbo again and repair it again.

I would just rebuild it and have peace of mind. Found this on eBay
https://m.ebay.com/itm/TRITDT-Turbo...120D-320D-TF035-38-59-6-6-blade-/253150915101
I would try MR Turbo to see if they have billet wheels for your car

Isn’t that consumption high for a diesel car ?

Ok so Autozone has Original Mitsubishi Cores for R2800, Mr Turbo wants R3800 for complete rebuild and new compressor wheel. Havent heard from Gaby and also havent had feedback from the other 4 or 5 places i emailed.
I would prefer an exchange unit as its the quickest down time, when the day comes that i do the turbo, i cant be down for 2 or 3 days, want to remove the turbo and fit the other turbo the same day.
Turbo on the car : Mitsubishi TF035V which is the equivalent of TD04.
Im sure the core from autozone should be a balanced core? can one just DIY replace the old core with the new one?

Autozone is Original and they order it, just the core not the whole turbo.
Turbo Exchange has a special on currently for R6800 for the garrett GT17 which is the equivalent used. From what i understand, they used to be GT17 and then BMW started using Misubishi from 2006 onwards or something in that order.
Will shop around, not in too much of a hurry. Turbo isnt making any noises and theres no shaft play so i doubt it will just go boom lol. Well impressed for a turbo that is 170k old and has no play on the shaft.

Your turbo should be the Garrett GT1749V
You can pick up a brand new one from Turbo Direct for around R13k, but that will be quite a bit more than just rebuilding the existing turbo.

My turbo is the Mitshibishi according to the part number on the turbo. Not sure if its a direct swop and if i can just buy a garrett and install or are the actuator plugs maybe different or will the car require tuning?
