Re: dealer wants $2900 for blown turbo
Seems to me that you might be able to get a fairly good used turbo at a salvage yard if you know what to look for: ie: cracks in the housings, excessive oil and carbon build up turbine fin shape and limited shaft end play. You may be able to find a "rebuild" kit inexpensively in order to freshen up the salvage yard turbo. Depending on exactly what went wrong with the original unit, you may only need to replace the turbo itself. It would help to know what the full on diagnosis was, though.
