You have a Ta33 that needs service ? Just send it out to get rebuild, try blasstperformance, i think it's 150 plus shipping(to/from canada) ust make sure you want it just as it was, same seal etc etc. I think hotair needs carbon seal not dynamic.

Or try some other turbo rebuilders, some members should throw some names out, gpopshop.com etc
 
for those more who are a little more adventurous........

carbon seal back plates are available for most any turbo application.

im sorry about all the questions.does a ta49 fit. lol thanks

The Precision TBO 330 is a stock hot air turbo. The TA49 is an intercooled 86/87 turbo upgrade which will not fit unless you reclock it, make a turbo adapter and change the seals to carbon. You can have Precision convert your stock turbo to a TA33C which is a TA49 compressor installed in a hot air housing. This turbo is the only bolt on upgrade available for a hot air. Brad

Not true any more Brad. The good dr has been making some upgraded backing plates so you can add a bigger turbo to a HA car.:biggrin:

Send Aj a PM and wait on a response Brad. He really does have some special parts to upgrade both the C/T and the HA cars.:biggrin:
