    So needing to replace turbos, what is the easiest/cheapest way to replace them? replacing with stock turbos.

    Instructions are needed

    Engine pull im afraid.

    Once you've got that far replacing the turbos is pretty straight forward.

    Whats wrong with your current ones??

    depends

    what you can do yourself... with an engine crane, engine stand and reasonable amount of tools isnt too hard to pull the engine and remove turbos, send them to eric for a rebuild. Alternatively you could pick up a set on here cheap enough, get them rebuilt and then swap them over. Still have to pull the engine but the down time is alot less. Obviously if you have to pull the engine then probably worthwhile doing other stuff while its out.

    Other stuff my include 100k service, change engine mounts, replace alot of rubber lines and vac houses, change the clutch, general degrese if engine bay is full of grime the list can go on and on

    If you want to rebuild a set before taking them out i have some you can have cheap.

    Anti 14.7 x 14.7 = 44.1

    And if you don't want to pay to rebuild them, I've got a set just off my car which are in excellent nick. PM me.

    AndyMac Better than you

    And if you want to capitalise on the PITA of actually replacing turbo's, then upgrade and boost.

    And just to step off the band wagon for a moment, whats wrong with the ones on there atm, shagged?

    Yeah, wouldn't be the first time somebody's misdiagnosed turbo failure. What's going on with the car?
