I'm in need of a rear housing off a Tomcat Turbo, AR.49

I don't mind if its on its own or attched to a completely dead turbo at least the housing is ok thats all that matters

Its kind of urgent, let me know what you have

difficult to find a company that do them well and not just ok enough to charge the customer.
The guy i used has given me a printout of the vibration up to 200,000rpm

Are the rear housings ok? Not worried about the cores or compressor side

Nope - hairline cracks in 2 directions from the penny penny washers area.

They bad enough to affect the boost, i:e leak badly?

I know i'm not going to get a mint one off a used turbo but least it holds boost and the penny shaft has minimal play it should be ok

I had no issues with it losing boost on mine when it was on.
