Rive_mk2 Member 61 Member For: 6y 1m 23d Posted 03/01/20 03:22 AM Share Posted 03/01/20 03:22 AM Hey guys.. recently seized my stock turbo in my BF mk2 due to possible oil feed line.. just wondering where the best places to track second hand ones from? Ford quoted $2100 just for turbo and about 4 hundred plus for labor.. any advice or links would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The labour cost from ford sounds about right. Some mechanics I deal with are good at sourcing secondhand or cheaper (new) parts so it could be worth asking around for some quotes. Make sure to replace the oil feed line new, id recommend new bolts/studs too. Edited 03/01/20 03:34 AM by skidxr6t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so would it be worth getting a set of second hand injectors if it's going to be tuned again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
