WTB stock turbo assembly, used, new, good, or bad Akron, OH

[RaceThisLTZ]

My turbo waste gate pin is worn and causing low boost. I would like to buy another turbo to A. Modify and fix the waste gate assembly or B. Replace with known good turbo. Please let me know if you have one.

I'm an engineer and have a full machine shop at my disposal. Would love to find a way to fix the hot side housing rather then replace a good turbo.

Can't help you on the part, but you have my moral support for this endeavor. It's remarkably dumb that something so simple warrants a full turbo replace.

Haha thanks for the support. It is a very easy fix. My plan is to simply remove it mill out the hole insert a sleeve and press a bushing in for the shaft. just can't afford to have my car torn apart for a few days lol

What are you looking to spend? I saw a crashed '13 Cruze with the 1.4T in it in the junkyard today, I can find out what they would charge me for the turbo assembly and pull it when I go back next weekend, I'm sure it will still be there.

Going back tomorrow, any interest?
