Factory turbos on vehicles manufactured after the year 2000 are often listed by the manufacturer as being non-repairable; therefore, a replacement unit, new or used, would be required. Not every turbo problem is normal wear and tear, which means if you simply bolt on another turbo without knowing the cause of the current problem, a repeat failure could occur in a short time. Because of this common problem, we investigate the cause of the turbo problem and advise a fix process. Aftermarket turbos from reputable manufacturers are normally repairable cost-effectively.
