the CHRA i linked is produced by Mellet
Mellet - "Our growing range of replacement CHRA / Core Assemblies are all assembled and VSR balanced in our in-house fully equipped UK Core Production Facility. ALL Melett CHRA / Core Assemblies are made in our UK facility, from Melett parts only." Mellet - i'm sure are trade only, so we can't (well I can't) buy from them direct - they supply the Turbo refurb Guys I know nothing of "Turbo Rebuild Limited" - £123 inc delivery for a Quality replacement Core - i'd take the punt the cheap stuff is cheap for a reason - and I wouldn't take that punt - If i was to fit a New Turbo or replacement Core i'd expect/hope to get at least 100k miles from the new part. Stay away from cheap knockoffs - I'd rather fit a used complete Original Garrett Turbo from a breakers yard if Money is tight (Less of a Gamble) ........or I'd wait til I can afford to do it Properly Paul. |

Okay, I've just had a chat to Melett, their UK rep.. He agrees that due to their size and requirements for testing, they don't sell to the public.
He does suggest......wait for this.....Turbo Rebuild Limited, near Blackpool and states that 99% of their stock is from Melett, unless Melett do not have it. (turborebuild.co.uk are on 01253799987 and Danny Brown is the contact there.) so this line can be taken out if I'm not allowed to give these details on this site. |
