Garrett T3, T4, T3/T4 Rebuild Kits

There are three different types of compressor end seals for these turbos: a 1-piece encapsulated carbon seal, a 4-piece carbon seal, and a dynamic seal. Usually, when you buy a turbo rebuild kit, you are not given the option of which type of seal will be included in the kit. This can be a real problem when you go to rebuild your turbo and find that you have the incorrect seal. It means you have to try to come up with the correct seal, causing you further downtime.

We want you to have the correct type of seal from the beginning, and that is why we offer the choice of all three seal types in our kits. There is no price difference. We have included some helpful information below for determining which type of seal your turbo needs. If after looking at the information and picture below you are still unsure of what you need, email us, and we will be glad to help.

You will choose Kit #1, Kit #2, or Kit #3 from the dropdown menu below. If, after you receive your kit, you find out that you have purchased the wrong type of seal, we will make the exchange for you, but you will be responsible for shipping costs.
