Hello - first post - hope I do this right!
Our 1996 SeaRay DA450 Sundancer with Caterpillar 3116TA engines appears to need her turbos either rebuilt or replaced due to prior salt water ingestion. The turbos are corroded inside and the housing has apparently swelled. We replaced both mixing elbows (source of ingestion) prior. If the turbos can't be repaired I'll need to replace them. I found a Borg-Warner Turbo that appears to be the same units sold by Caterpillar but I'm not certain of this. The price is attractive but I'm not trying to be cheap about this - just don't want to spend the money if we don't have to. Has anyone used this turbo https://www.tristateturbo.com/rebui...cement-borg-warner-turbo-s300w049-detail.html on 3116TA engines before with success?? Or have suggestions on where to go to get the right turbos? Thanks!
