Houstie999 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Hey gentles and gentle ladies. Just got my car back from getting the paint job... and noticed there’s blueish smoke coming from the exhaust. Had a couple mechanics look and both said it’s one of the turbos. I’m looking for the best place to buy a couple standard turbos, or hybrid turbos or have mine reconditioned to hybdrid... I phoned whifbits last week to purchase a couple new hybrids and was told roughly £1100 for the pair, today tho I phoned and there an extra £350 to pay if I don’t send my own ones over. Is there somewhere else I can get a couple turbos or somewhere you would recommend to send mine to have them reconditioned to hybrids? Thanks for your time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I have had this guy recommended to me as the real deal Dr Turbo. Not used him yet myself but I have talked with him about getting a spare set of 'low mileage' turbos I have sitting in my garage refurbed. Came across as no nonsense, said he'd strip the turbos while I looked on and tell me what was needed with cost there and then. No swaps, just your own turbos reconditioned unless they are damaged beyond repair. There is no option on ceramics used in jspec available so it'd need to be 'upgraded' to steel turbines.

Sheefa Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Turbo Technics based in Northampton. Very knowledgeable guys and they did a cracking job on my old Black TT turbos. Many others have recommended them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
