3LDZ = obsolete, genuine components are NLA from 3K-Warner.

Aftermarket rebuild kits are typically junk. Ex: a max bearing tolerance may be 3.7, and the new replacement bearing measures at 5.0. Useless -- you're assembling a new worn-out turbo.

To assemble a genuine 3LDZ rebuild kit, you have to purchase 3 separate kits. So properly remanufacturing a 3LDZ gets expensive. We only do maybe 1x/month, and it's only worth it if it's an all-stock, all original 930.

Otherwise, upgrade and enjoy. Just about everything out-performs the 3LDZ.

<$1000 and closer to $500 -- look at a 57-trim. Cheap to buy, cheap to upgrade, cheap to rebuild.
