Can anybody recommend where to send my turbo for rebuild? It's an older SupraSport Stage 3 with minimal shaftplay.

Does anyone on the forums offer this service?

Ouch! $400 plus shipping to them. That's pretty steep for what my turbo needs. The fins are fine and there is no pits on the intake inlet. The wheel just moves ever so slightly.

I should have been more specific with my question. Does anybody offer basic turbo rebuild services (replace bearings and seals) for under $300?

I know a place called Majestic Turbo out of TX that charges $375 shipped and have less than a 3 day turnaround. I still don't want to spend that much.

Any other options out there for me?

That is a very true statement...you can have Jon do it and enjoy the turbo for many miles, or you can have Joe Bob's Turbo Shop do it and rebuild it again in a year. Your call...do it right, do it once ;)

$400 for a complete turbo rebuild is a very good price.

Yeah, I guess your right. It's just that this turbo rebuild is just another thing on a long expensive list. I'd like to save a couple bucks where I can, just to make sure I have enough to finish everything up.

The turbo is actually one of the lowest priorities right now. However, I'd hate it to fail after putting so much work into everything else.

What's MDC's turnaround time?

Good call! Just think what would happen if your Joe Bob built turbo decided to send metal chunks down your intake ;)
It's not just the cost, but also your time...I can promise you your time is a huge factor.

Resist the temptation to go cheap. There's a big difference between getting excellent parts/service at a good/fair price and cheap parts at a cheap price.

Good luck with your build...I'm sure Jon will chime in or PM ya with his turn around time.

I basicly have Jon wholesale turbo rebuilds, I have them done for $375, and I
work out payment, shipping, etc, so he doesn't have to, and I get $25 out of
the deal. You save $25, I get $25, Jon gets to fix a turbo without having to
keep tabs on everything, everyone's happy. PM me for info. Your cost is $375
plus shipping, I know it's only $25 off, but hey every little bit helps.

I have several rebuild kits useually in stock at MDC and he turn-around is
about a week on stock turbos assuming nothing major needs to be done.
