A mechanic told me that my turbocharger is not doing the job it should be. I've looked around for rebuilt turbochargers and apparently, they simply don't exist. There are places that refurb them, one here locally wants $750 to rebuild mine!

I saw on this forum where someone recommended Tim's Turbos in Virginia. On their site, they say the average cost is about $375 or so. But you apparently have to send your turbo in = you are without a running car for a week or so. I'd rather buy a rebuilt turbo if they were available, pay a core charge, then get a refund on the core charge when they get my old unit back. That way I'm not without a car; I can take my old turbo out and put the rebuilt one in all at the same time.

I saw about rebuild kits but it seems like it might be over my head. Kent Bergsma has a good video on it on YouTube.
