What you would be right in thinking is that any rebuilt turbo's have steel internals, I don't think any are ceramic. So if you have only one rebuilt you will have a mix! It's also possible given that both turbo's have seen a similar life that having had one go the other may not be far behind. So would you want to revisit the job or just get both re-furbished?
The consideration is how much it would cost to have both rebuilt (AET are pretty good) as averse to replacement with new. If you go new, do you want to go bigger? Which also means maybe new injectors, re-map, etc. etc. etc. If you go steel, standard you can at least turn the boost up a bit.
Pay your money, take your choice.

me 2!
Vintoni..if your going for the gt-ss size you need the gt2860-9s rated 600ps
The n1s are the 2860-7s..around 500ps i think
The 2530s are the 2860-5s..rated 640ps
On the other hand i have a standard t25 in my garage at home if you want it,wont charge you much..grand condition.Exhaust wheel is still on it..unlike the 2nd turbo sitting next to it !
Are the -7 and -9 ratings the wrong way round? I thought it was the -7's rated at 600ps for a pair :nervous:
Edit: Never mind

Not to repeat myself from the thread "stock turbos blown at 0.9"
Chuck the stock units and get some dash 5's. The boost comes on only 500 - 800 rpm later and just keeps coming. You'll like them. If you do the work yourself, just make sure you clean the oil lines and use aluminum crush washers (AN) instead of the copper washers on the banjo fittings at the turbo's. They have more crush and seal better. Don't crack the oil line like I did on the rear turbo. Only to discover it after the whole job was completed and then have to take the whole thing out again. That side of the engine is Heinous, evil, inhuman to work on. Did I mention not to drop your 1/4 inch socket down the turbine port while doing up the manifold nuts. oooops take it all apart again. Its a week later and 100 hours of labour. Pay someone to do it and let them bleed. They will earn thier money that's for sure.
