Question about Mk3 turbo

Johnnyboi · 11-14-2006, 11:04 PM

I'm currently rebuilding the engine.. I'm doing it to fit high performance. My mechanic told me that my turbo isnt working properly, it isnt turning fast enough. I either have to buy a new one or a used one.. What should i do. I went to the toyota dealer. they told me a new stock turbo would be around 2-3 grand. I think thats too much seeing as thats how much i paid for the car. Is there any way i can get my own turbo rebuilt? if so.. how much would it be?

that sounds more like the price for the pipes the intercooler and the turbo... you can get a turbo from like hks or greddy or somthing for like 600 bucks.

Okay well thx for that.. but i went to the sites and it's just so confusing... Which one should i get? I want one under 1000 dollars but as good or better than the stock one. which one would this be?

on the left side of the screen there is a list of the car makes click toyota then it will send you to a page with alot more option click on turbos, then look at the four there the first one is like 600 bucks and i think that one that supports up to 300hp or 350 hps is like 1045. i mean if you look around on some performance websites for just the turbo you should be able to find some that will fit on your car for cheap
