News, Products
Typically, most turbochargers either use a journal or a ball bearing system – or a variation of one of these themes.

Can You Recondition A Garrett VNT Turbocharger?

Turbos use variable vanes to set the optimum airflow for engine load and speed. They are so complex, it is impossible for remanufacturers to exactly match their critical tolerances and settings. So, buying a reman VNT turbo will inevitably lead to disappointed customers, with extra expense and loss of reputation for dealers.
