Good morning guys,

 

My ASV requires a replacement turbo. It's leaking oil on high boost straight round the intercooler.

 

Does anyone have any recommendations on,

 

1 - Where to get a recon turbo, on exchange basis.

2 - Where to get manifold gasket, turbo & down pipe gasket.

 

I ideally need the parts ASAP but also don't want to pay through the nose.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Best Regards

You could try speaking to Xman on the forums, very reasonable prices and no exchange unit required.

just change the turbo core yourself, isn't that hard, can get them from ebay for around £100

Does this require a seal kit also?

 

I did think about it, but to be honest a remanufactured turbo is coming out around 250 delivered. If I pay 100 for the core and 30 for the seal kit, I'm not a million miles away.

 

Time is my biggest problem. I am borrowing a car at the moment that needs to be given back ASAP.

 

Best Regards

When I bought mines it came with everything, all i had to do was split the turbo and replace the broken core, put it back together and that was it 

Damn, I must admit that is interesting.

 

Did you replace the seals?

yes, nothing to it, the only pain is removing the turbo from the engine as the oil feed pipe sometimes turns with the nut that secure it onto the top of the turbo, so budget for a new oil feed pipe aswell, £45~ depending on dealer

Okay, before I order anything I'm going to try and get it off the car one night this week and inspect.
