My S16G is needing a rebuild, and am weighing my options (got pricing from hahn for kit/rebuild/upgrade)... and wanted to see if anyone here has a good/working S16G or S20G for sale?

My priority is to minimize downtime (a simple swap would be quickest), and to ofcourse limit expense. I'm currently pushing 20lbs w/ 440's, SFMU, & SAFC... and not sure the implications of what else would be needed in upgrading to S20G either (although the benefit to me is obvious, lower temps and power).

rebuilding the turbo literally takes like 5 minutes. and you dont even need to take the hot side off the manifold.

I don't doubt that (although I'd prob take my time and remove completely to spray housing w/ copper to look a bit nicer)... and not sure HRC wants their pricing up, but the long rebuild kit right now is $188, a prof rebuild is $300, and a S20G upgrade is $500 (plus shipping and taxes, since they moved to FL - where I live). So if I'm looking at a couple hundred dollars at the least, I wanted to see if I couldn't get a bigger (or spare) turbo.

You cant use a standard Td05 rebuild kit? They are less than 100

I don't have an answer for you (I assume so, maybe someone can say here), and I did the same searching when I first posted and found the same pricing... however, I will say the 'standard' rebuild is ~$90, but the 'long' or 'full' rebuild is ~$150 (depending on where you look). Having never done this before, I'm basically going by Corbin's writeup which calls for the complete rebuild. Hahn also made a point to mention theirs was 'Mitsu genuine' and not an import/ebay knockoff too (which does mean something to me).

Still looking for a S16G/S20G :)
