Turbo repair companies

My turbo has taken some damage and is in need of a repair. :cry:

I have narrowed the companies down to Owen Development and Midland Turbo.

Does anyone have any other recommendations or any experiences with any of the two above?

Thanks!

I would say Turbo Technics, but it was many moons ago and when they gave me the quote after tearing it down, I said "keep it".

That was the first company I called as they are in the same area as me and they said they couldn't repair it.

A chap is selling a bunch of turbos in here at the moment, might be more cost effective to do that instead

Did they say why they couldn't repair it ?

They didn't, they recommended Owen Developments after saying no and that was the end of it if I remember correctly.

I was pretty surprised they couldn't do it.

Since then I have spoken to Turbo Dynamics and they're saying they can get it repaired a lot cheaper compared to the others and they also said they will test my two actuators to work out which one is better for it which is cool.

Hopefully it's a simple job!

What turbo is it?

When I was looking at getting my 2871r rebuilt it was cheaper to buy new as the chra inside cost basically the same as the turbo!

CHRA's have come down in price a fair bit recently, few alternatives on the market now.

Turbo Rebuild can deal with the GT2871R if the first place can't.

Thanks for the reply!

I did call them and they won't work on it.

I'm going to get it over to Turbo Dynamics and hope the for the best.
