bavboym3 · 05-08-2012, 01:18 PM

I need to find some stock, or upgraded stock turbo's. I really want to get them quikly. Where is the best place to call?

Thanks!

Tischer would probably be the quickest and cheapest for OEM. Rob Beck would be my go to for upgraded snails, you might be able to get them quickly if they're in stock.

This begs the question...what did you do to your original turbos???

One of them is smoking, and has waste-gate rattle. I figure if im gonna replace one might as well do them both. the Turbo's in these cars seam to have a 60-70k life span unfortunately.

Isnt it covered under warranty for 10 years or 120k miles?

i have a pair of stock turbos with about 8k miles on them....nothing wronhg with them...pm me for more details...lata

Id be weary of any used turbos mainly due to internal wastegates that wear out very quickly.

nothing wrong with my wastegates...cost me over 7k to replace my stock turbos at the dealership because they said i had a wastegate rattle, but it ended up being an aftermarket exhaust rattle and needed a little welding... after inspection of the turbos, theres absolutely no wear on the wastegates at all. I definetely got screwed, but whatever.
