I hope I put this in the right section but here goes anyway
My uncle bought a twin turbo supra but he knew the turbos were dodgy to start with.
They have now completely shat themselves and have been removed and sent to Turbo Technics to get reconditioned. Turbo Technics have came back to him with a completely insane price to get them fixed as he basically needs two brand new turbos. The full cost is going to be prob between £3000 and £4000.
He has been advised to try and find another set of second hand turbos so I told him I would post up here.

Does anybody have or know where would be the best place to get a set of second hand turbos? They must be in good condition and the car is a UK car so they must also be UK spec.
He is not looking for upgraded turbos but anything is considered!

Might be best to try the mark 4 supra site mate

I'll ask around for you mate

ask mark at TDI, my original turbos should still be in his spare parts bin

change it to a big single............much better for proper power.......

can do you a wicked deal

He isn't into modifying cars and wants to spend as little as possible which is understandable in his situation.
How much is the single turbo conversion any way Dave?

I sent him a PM but he must be offline at the mo as no reply!
Do you know if the standard turbos from the monster are in good working order Matt?

yes the turbos were in good working order, i asked Mark what he had done with them, he told me that they were kept

Hi, a Friend of mine has a TT Supra,he had both his turbos reconditioned,including the labour it was around £2000 all in.He said Turbo Technics did the recon work on his turbos,but a different garage did the labour and sent his turbos off to them.
Like above he said try mk4 Supra site.

Cheers chips.

erm he can have my turbos for a lot less than £2000!!

how much??

find out if mark has them first...............if he has, which he should do, then you can have them for £700 they came of the engine in the Monster which had only done low miles, there the UK turbos aswell

Yeah Mark says they are about somewhere.
He is more interested in the mileage of the turbos!
Mark thinks they are about 10 years/60K old but is not sure.
He also can't vouch for their condition either!

Can you shed anymore light on the subject?

As said earlier..........change it for a T68 BIGGER turbo........just the thought of it

I would say the same thing but he ain't a modder. He just wants it to go properly without blinding people behind him


He would be more interested in the turbos if they were about £600 Matt

they are 60,000 miles actually about 58,000.

and were perfect before being removed, i know because i spoke to the owner of the donor car...£600 is fine
