Turbo Critical

[NT TURBO]

Hi all,

I joined this site when my BA was brand spankly back in 2002, 11 years later of really trouble free motoring and the turbo has shat itself.

What are my options?

Has anyone upgraded and have a stock garret in their cupboard they want rid off?

What should I pay for a new turbo?

Have I f@#$ed my motor too? No odd noises but crusty sh*t in the turbo oil line. intake fan has hit the housing.

I didn't know about the oil filter on the turbo line, if this is maintained how many k's is the garret good for? as I am thinking second hand.

What should I pay for a second hand unit? would it be worth rebuilding or is this something only garret can do?

Any help would be so appreciated as this is my only family car and I don't have a lot of funds.

I think your PM inbox is full..

about $900ish I think... to build yours

Not sure who you have available to you up there, but I know a freight company who pulls out of darwin almost every other day down to perth.

Thanks, Chaos.....you're right, PM box now cleared

$900ish?, my housing is scored, I am thinking its rooted, freights no biggy who's that through?

Cheers, Mick

if you want to flick the turbo and get another, I'd be interested in the wreck of your old turbo....
