Rebuilt turbos vs standard smaller turbos

[MannoVRS]

Hi, so im thinking of buying a damaged jw1756v and then rebuilding it, would this be longer lasting than a standard pd130 turbo or is it worth the rebuild?

No, but it has higher power potential than the standard 1749 so if you're gonna remap then maybe.

Their packages don't seem too expensive. Get the turbo plus intercooler package and don't go mental on the boost at remap time. (Mental = over 2.0 bar).
