driftmotion 60-1 turbo - whats its name?

i have a 60-1 .70 turbo from driftmotion, is this a t04s? im not sure of the name since theres no vin plate on the cartridge.

i need a rebuild kit, and aaron said hed sell one for $110 but i wanna see if i can get one by the weekend, since im on the opposite side of the country.

They do have a phone number, and every time I've called (even once at 9pm, since he "Happened to be in the shop"), he has answered.

i've been getting my turbos rebuilt by the same guy for years (not dm), and will be dropping off my ct-26 to get bored to run a 58.

If it's .70 it should be a T04S.

We build our turbos from scratch, so I don't know what kit you could buy from someone else that has all the correct items included. A 360 deg thrust washer and all correct rebuild parts are included in the kit, and I don't even mark the price up because I just sell it as a service to the customers that run our turbo.

im just going to assume its a t04s, in that case. i cant find any ebay rebuild kits -_- lol, guess ill be dropping the 110 soon, unless i buy a new name brand turbo.

the rebuild kits iv heard that they cost $3 dollars to make, and are marked up 36x

Actually, DM buys cheap ebay type turbos and has every one rebuilt before you get it. As i said, i know, i get mine rebuilt at the same place. Performance Techniniques is where they are done. Basically it's a ebay type turbo housing with turbonetics internals.
