K-14 Non-rebuildable ???
« on: April 26, 2007, 11:07:00 am »
Well, neither turbo rebuilder here can get any parts for a K-14....apparently it's a throw-away. Of well, I guess I'll have to use my T3 Garrett :roll:  :wink:

It's leaking oil and one bearing is questionable.

I may be ready to part with mine in a few weeks. It only has a damaged compressor wheel, somewhere around 40-50k, or so I was told.

Giles sent my K14 out for rebuild. No issues at all.
I repair, maintain and modify VW's and BMW's.
Good work done at affordable rates. Welding and fabricating, too.

They also sell tons of parts in case you want to do it yourself.

Once again, no parts or rebuilds for K-14. Only K03,04 and 06.

So, who cares. It's just really an excuse to use a bigger turbo anyway. :wink:
