anybody rebuild a CT-20?
hello,
my stock CT-20 turbo charger has stopped building any real boost and is starting to burn through oil. so i have decided it needs to be rebuilt, has anybody done this and does anyone know where to get a rebuild kit. Toyota doesnt sell them anymore. P.S this will be the second time the turbo was rebuilt is it even worth rebuilding again?

Get a CT26 off a Supra 7MGTE instead... Writeup is on RTE forums...
(can someone confirm they can see this post? I feel like I'm writing in inviable ink here...)

"As time rolled by, Turbo Engineering Center (TEC). Of Magalia, California found that the life expectancy of the CT-20 was in the neighborhood of 60,000 miles. When it comes time to replace or repair these units, Toyota only offers a replacement turbo for $1850-no service or repairs. TEC traced the CT-20's short life span to the routing of the oil supply line. The line ran directly under the turbine housing and was joined to it. This allowed a great deal of heat transfer and TEC believes oil was ultimately restricted which led to turbo failure. Another shortcoming of the Toyota turbo was the backpressure it produced. TEC tested a CT-20 and found at 9 psi there was 22 psi of backpressure and high exhaust gas temperatures. The conditions were ripe for failure."

LC engineering sells an adapter for a T3 turbocharger and if I am not mistaken doesn't Volvo use the T3 turbo on a few of the older cars they made? Would a T3 be a good replacement turbo if I could find one cheap?

BTW don't rebulid it yourself if you do.. get it professionaly done as it needs new bearings and to be highspeed balanced for it to last...
