Rebuild/Replace K04 CHRA????

[beauy46]

I picked up a blown K04 a while ago. Have researched quite a bit and have found a few options. Listed below ones on ebay( 2 Chinese one german). Also found a Turbo Rebuild shop here stateside can rebuild it for around$450 not including shipping etc... so would be well over $500.

Has anyone used the Chinese CHRA's with any luck? The OEM K04 is assembled in China as well so paying $200 for a "German" spec peace of mine may be worth it but at the same time same quality can be had for less money.

I would buy the BW CHRA. BW CHRA's may be assembled in china but they're not necessarily manufactured there. Even on the links you posted, the loba unit has a billet compressor wheel while the other chinese knockoffs have cast. I would personally spend a little more for peace of mind.
