Turbo and intercooler replacement
Had a little issue with my GU 3.0 Di and I am considering replacing both turbo and intercooler.
Is Garrett a good turbo replacement, or is there a better alternative??
Are the eBay intercoolers reliable or do I need to look elsewhere?
My boost is set at 16psi maximum. The factory unit has 130,000 km on it and seems to be intact--no obvious oil leaks.
Generally I am happy with the way it runs (? ran ?) so not looking for any major changes.
Any advice/comments please

What's the reason for replacing them? If you're happy with it and looks okay just leave it alone?
I put an ebay front mount intercooler on my td42 and it's looks a better build than the factory top mount. So I would say if you're careful with your selection you'd find something good on ebay.
No idea on turbo. Would depend what you were trying to achieve I think.

The truck is in the shop and I suspect there is an issue with the existing turbo, hence the thought about a replacement.
