Boost Lab

jdsupratt11 · Apr 29, 2011

After trouble shooting for a week or so and no luck I decided to send my turbo down to Boost Lab. After a few short days I was informed my turbo was a goner and it was time to make a descision on were to go. Lebbet took the time to listen and answer all of my questions making it very easy to make a decision on the best route for my car. Best of all I will be getting my new turbo and back on the car by tomorrow night!! I couldnt have asked for a better experience Thanks again Lebbet and Kirk for all your help!! Best wishes and keep up the great work!

Jeremy, it was a pleasure! I'm happy to have helped make the process as easy and quick as possible for you!

Jeremy I knew Boostlab would get you taken care of. The timimg is just right for the big local car show! What turbo did you end up going with?

Does Boost Lab only service local FL customers? I PM'd Kirk a few weeks ago enquiring about some work and parts availability and never even got a response.

I would say Boost Lab is worldwide since i buy parts from them, awesome to work with and outstanding customer support!

I don't have a missed PM from you, just checked. We typically answer back in a timely manner, best form of contact is email - [email protected] - that goes to both Lebbet and myself.

Well crap.. It's in my Sent folder from 4/13. Oh well; I ended up tracking down part of what I was looking for. I'll definitely shoot you an e-mail if I need anything else.

Thanks,

Garrett ball bearing turbochargers are not serviceable. The turbine wheel was also physically damaged.

Its all good! Shit happens. As Kirk said above it was not rebuildable. I was only 2 miles down the road from the house and I started to leave a light when smoke started to poor out from under the hood. I quickly pulled over and popped the hood to find smoke coming out from under the turbo. Trouble shooted for a week with no luck and then sent it to Kirk and Leb. I went with the same turbo just jouranl bearing.

Hey jdsupratt11, what made you decide to stick with the same turbo ? What would be borg warners equivalent to the garrett 4294 ...?

jdsupratt11 · Sep 4, 2011

Well a few different reasons, first reason Im happy with the turbo over all and I went with journal so it can be rebuilt. I simply didnt have the time and wont for another couple of years to mess with researching a comparables. I will swtich it up at some point but Im just fine where Im at for now. Im sure Kirk or Leb would know what the comparable is.

Do you miss it not being a BB?

And Bump for BoostLab, and Kirk. Stand up guys. If I had more money - they would have it
