Hello, Im new here and have a question. I purchased a t3 t4 about a year ago and I need to locate some parts. Its a blue back T 12728. Turbonetics said it was out datted and good luck. The turbo was sapose to of had around 1200 miles on it and it looked that wat to me,like new condition. My problem now is this, I have to run an adjustable valve for the oil feed cause a straight line blows oil past the seals and out the exhaust, well somehow the valve closed and restricted all oil and would not boost. I opened the valve back up and got oil going to it and it still works as good as it did but the wheel was hitting the housing for a few miles and has some bad shapt play. Like I said it still works great and is not hitting or anything anymore but i would like to get it fixed. Thanks for help in advance and I am located in York Pa if that will help.

I'll see what I can do but last time I checked Turbonetics didn't have any parts for the standard shaft units any more (Blue backplate turbos)

I'm going to check with Turbonetics tomorrow on this.

I can confirm that standard shaft components have been long gone. We've stopped making standard shaft units for a long time now. However, after checking the inventory, we do have a VERY LIMITED number of standard shaft maintenance kits available. I would recommend you to order one ASAP from a dealer, if you need one. After these are gone, they are gone forever. Make sure you are able to rebuild the turbocharger and have the ability/access to balance the unit. Also make sure that you indeed, have a non ball bearing standard shaft Turbonetics unit. (1/4 inch diameter shaft vs. 5/16 on the big shaft)

P/N 10818 Non ball bearing standard shaft maintenance kit

You can look into getting a CHRA but I will probably guess that your turbine housing (not F1-series) will not be compatible with the new CHRA; which will be equipped with the latest F1-series turbine wheel.

Ok, Thank you very much Rob I will probably get one ordered real soon. I actually found some standard shaft kits on ebay from a repitable seller as well, non the less thank you for you time
