Turbo reconditioners

[Tails_]

Evening all.

Turbo is on the way out on my DCi. Need to get it sorted before it does something silly and throws a fin haha.

I'm exploring a few options and wondered if anyone knew any decent/ fairly priced companies able to recondition my current one. (yes ill be off the road a little longer, though is more cash friendly)

Preferably in Kent OR Bristol (over weekends.)

Cheers.

CR Turbos are brilliant.

Chip recommended them to me

loads about! you'll probably find it just as cheap/easy to buy an exchange unit from GSF/Euro easier too!

Used to use them when I had my GTT and could not fault them. Second to none!

Usually do an exchange service, so they send you a recon unit, and you just hand over the old one to the courier

Cheers guys!
I think just swapping the units will go down a lot better. Sourced two (Thanks to tutuur!)

One above, and one from renparts.

Ignore which pal?

Still will probably take a look at the guys down by the unit. Are they recons or just second hand?

Just ignore me, I asked a question, then found the answer and edited my rubbish. LOL

Are you sure?!?? CR Turbos use there own actuators. I must of had 20-25 turbos off them this year all with the new type CR Turbos actuator.

Another CR vote here.

Ask Tremona garage I'm sure we both know who they are and I'll bet you a box of beers they tell you more then a few horror storeys mate

Another vote for CR here. Never had an issue atall with them or any of their refurbs.

Sorry, dont believe it, we've been using them for years and its perfect service every time and sure has hell not a case of painting something and claiming to recon it.

I even had one guy with a westfield turbo I helped spec the engine for and mapped for him who had smoking which I could see was cause he installed the oil return wrongly and kinked it, so it killed the seals, I explained to CR exactly what had happened and as it was a quick fix they still did it free under warranty even though I'd admitted it was the guys own fault.

hes looked after me, and a good few people I know very well over the years, a truly helpful and friendly fellow.
