Tuning turbo going

[dtwelve]

only done 71000 miles and the turbo on its last legs very raspy and low mpg and lack of any power below 2000rpm no smoke yet so hopefully will get me home from Devon on Sat
seen as it looks a easy exchange where's the best place to get one
cheers

That's a shame to hear mate, ours is now on 88k and fingers crossed still going strong and pulls very well. If you don't want the big £££ try a recon one. Some people within disagree but personal in the past and people I know have never had a problem with recon turbo.

You sure it is your turbo on the way out?

Before you condem the turbo as when they go they go big time with lots of smoke and oil out of the exhaust.
Maybe you need to check the egr valve which could be blocked. Very similar symptoms were on my dad's stilo. Istripped and cleaned the egr valve which was caked in soot and hey presto back to normal and is still good 2 yrs later
Try it it will only cost you your time.

Helps if we know what car, diesel or petrol turbo.

Agreed with the egr valve comments if a diesel
