Hi,

My friend has just rang me and told me his boost is rising really slowly and blue smoke is coming out the exhaust when it boosts. Am I right in thinking this is the turbo? Could someone tell me roughly how much he is looking at for a standard rebuild on his turbo?

Many Thanks
Dan

ah it depends lad,might just need reconditioning, upwards of 500 squids anyway

 

Mine was done last year at a cost of £900.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a new one??

I can't believe that reconditioning yours would be cost affective??

Not sure on that one Pete.

There is alot of work involved in a rebuild/conditioning.

There is about 15 items to be checked on a Turbo and then
after that it needs to have a Rotor balancing check.

Would certainly be worth looking at a new/recon off the shelf.
