I have no specific knowledge of Rotax turbo charged engines.
If you suspect that the turbine bearings are failing/damaged.
In land based turbines - assuming no damage to turbine blades and housing - bearings are replaceable. Call your local turbo charging specialists.
F3 is type certified engine, so we have to have original turbo with form.
So do your "type certified" rules allow a LAIM to replace or oversee the replacement of bearings (assuming that's a possible option)?
I would assume that if a LAIM is permitted to do the work he/she would have to use certified parts supplied/approved by Rotax .
You did say you were looking for options (due to long parts supply problems) to replacement of the whole turbo charger.
