After finding an oil leak from the inlet side pipe to the IC on the turbo I went to see the car doctor who told me a new turbo is needed and fitted will set me back about 2k... nice!
So... I'm told that the Garret turbo is not a serviceable item but after a search seen others say they have purchased this from ebay.. think its worth it? Dont know it I can trust one of the evilbay $500 turbos as I only want to fit it once, unless anyone has one and recommends them. Or I can start looking for a Garret and thus far found its going to run at 1400 for a new one but I'm sure the network here we should be able to get a better price...
Any suggestions on where to get a new one or what others have done in the past would be great as I need it for a trip to the snow this school holidays and get out hunting...
