Howdy, n00b here,
Now I have read up about what people have been doing when there turbos have blown but I'd really like some advice.
So I've recently purchased a 07 GTB, everything checked out no dramas. Within the first week of driving it the turbo had blown up on me .
The mechanic said it was because it was starved of oil as well as the oil line to it breaking.(engine is swimming in oil at the moment)
He has given me two roads to go down (Quote will be attached), Option A is a rebuild of the turbo coming to a total of $4000 and option B which is a second hand turbo coming to a total of $2800.
With the rebuild of the turbo he is guaranteeing 12 month warranty, with the second hand he is giving it a 3 month warranty.
Now my first question is do these rebuilds really cost this much? Am I being taken for a ride? He strongly suggested I go for the rebuild unless we want to be having this conversation later down the track again.
The second hand VF46 he has priced at $880, If i was going to with this option B I was thinking of Kinugawa's as they are $1000 and it would be brand new. Do I need supporting mods to have one of these, or will a tune later on suffice?
Thanks in advance, any other advice that you may have is greatly appreciated.
