7M-GTE Owners CT-26 Turbo Survey
I brought about this thread because I purchased a rebuilt CT-26 off of eBay. My item hasn't arrived for over a month and the seller has not contacted me in a long while. I was thinking about getting a refund and using the turbo I have now that has 82,xxx miles on it. I have not measured play or had a chance to look at the impellers yet. Reliability was my main concern when I made that purchase. I want to see how many owners are still running their stock turbo without a rebuild. I am also wondering if I should be concerned about a rebuild soon regardless if the turbo seems good.

my car had 120k on when i got it, i assumed the turbo was original, i killed it when i upped the boost to 12psi, then bought used on off ebay (60k)and abruptly killed that one shortly after at 12+psi.....
now im runing a rebulit upgraded to larger wheel and its still alive so far.. i bounce this one off 14psi no worries..  on another forum i read one guy had 220k on his, till he upped the boost to 10+ now its doing the turbo death whine... get your refund before its too late and you have no recourse..

Scary thought that upping the boost kills older turbos. I'm giving the seller the benefit of the doubt. His last straw shall be drawn this weekend.
