New Turbo

Post by Dans6490 » Mon Jul 03, 2017 5:57 pm

Hoping someone can wave a magic wand!!! I need a new Turbo and have been quoted £2309 all in. The recommendation is that I don't use a recon unit??

Does anyone have any advice where best to source a unit and or a reputable Indy in west kids that  I could approach??

I'm really not keen on spending half the value of the car on a repair but can't see any other option at the moment.

There are hundreds if not thousands of people get refurbed turbos every year. Like you say why spend half the value of a car on a turbo. When something in the engine goes, do they recommend changing the engine for a new on too
