hi all, my rear turbo is knackered and its time to replace them!
anyone know the best place to do this? i also have some came gears to go in, i still think xspeed is the place to go! however i know how pricey they are... anyone else? i dont wanna go spending 700 bucks on cam and turbo replacements, i would just go a big single if that was the case... ! cheers for the help guys! i kinda need a new mechanic my guy is great but works on all kinds of cars, i need a tuner specialist :-)

KYP in Welshpool. You'd have to go elsewhere if you want that cam gear adjusted with proper readings. Have a chat to Ben there, he'll sort you out.

Not sure what you were buying, but there second hand parts are extremely cheap and there labour is cheaper than most places around considering there quality of work

Yeah prices have gone up a bit now that they have more demand and gotten bigger. But I still find it cheaper than most places, besides private sellers of course. Call around to any mechanic Ty, its basic mechanical knowledge and they don't need to be an import specialist, but you will find KYP knows what they are doing because they have done it countless times so they will charge accordingly. It's just a time consuming task, hence the hefty labour bill.

Another place is WTF Auto. Go with either.
