    hey guys
    My turbo is done
    Dealer wants $2200 plus core for a re-man one
    I am thinking the rebuild way
    Anybody knows a good turbo repair/overhaul shop in Chicago/Milwaukee area, and how long does it take (hours/days/weeks!!)
    Thanks guys

    Call around different shops, Someone might have one a little cheaper
    If you rebuild, make sure you have a good warrenty

    Have you called places a hour or two drive from Chicago? A little road trip may save a few $$

    The price is the price. When is comes too expensive parts.

    Don't pay a shop to change a turbo. DIY it's an easy job.
