Default replacement parts

I'm trying to get a price on a cartridge for a T76 journal bearing cartridge.

I sent my turbo in to turbonetics for warranty and they're telling me it's starved of oil. I have a 2003 cobra with a hellion kit on it. There's no way it was starved of oil. I had no clue there was a problem with it until i started to install a blow thru set up on the car. I spun the shaft and it had play. Sent it to turbonetics, denied my warranty, and shipped the turbo back in pieces. They told me I need a cartridge replaced. Neither of my turbine wheels touched down so they're fine. I was given a price of about 540 to fix and ship back, but since it's been shipped back in pieces I'm not paying 70 to ship it back to CA. again.

Any help would be much appreciated

Brian

Any of the vendors at the top of the forum could give you a price for the CHRA. Was the turbocharger out of its one year/ 12,000 mile warranty?

no it was not out of warranty. they said I starved it of oil. My motor wasn't starved of oil and it's fed at the same point my oil pressure gauge is fed. Something else was wrong and I have to eat it.
