Spencer C Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) Good afternoon. I'm told by my very reliable, trustworthy mechanic that I've used/known for years that my turbo needs replacing. I'm located in the West Midlands (Walsall area) - can anyone recommend a good turbo supplier please ?? My mechanic has given me a price of approx £270 + VAT + fitting. I've had a price from Best Turbos in Oldbury of £260 plus my old turbo (otherwise £150 surcharge unti I return it to them). All/any help much appreciated !! Thanks Edited February 20, 2023 by Spencer C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi I would be taking my advice from the mechanic as he obviously uses a supplier he trusts and has not had any problems with, in essence there are turbo reconditions and turbo reconditions, the clue lies in the price, how many parts did they actually replace or not to save money and what are the chances of redress if it goes horribly wrong, at least with your guy if there is a problem they will be less inclined to argue the toss as he fitted it and the supplier won't want to loose the business, I have used Essex turbos for twenty years and never had a problem, yes they are dearer than some other companies but they are happy to show you real time their reconditioning methods.
