How much should i expect to pay for a new turbo fitted? (something equivalent to stock?)

Im finding thats the problem with the warranty's they require frequent services by certified mechanics.

Does anyone know the details of the standard mandatory dealer warranty in australia is it 3months?

Dealers have a stat warranty on Cars under 10 years old of 3 months / 5000kms. That will cover everything on the car that goes wrong in that period as I understand it.

Dealers can offer extra warranty that is offered by a 3rd party warranty company. This can be for various amount of time/kms. Generally this cover will state it will cover damage to the drivetrain upto a total of $XXXX.

So an example. You buy a car and you have bought or the dealer gave you a 1 year 3rd party warranty. 6 months in, you having had the car serviced as required by the dealer, blow up the turbo. The 3rd party warranty will cover the claim up to $2000 (just say). The job will cost $3000, so you will pay the gap.

Thats how I understand it works.

some of the guys that have replaced turbos will be able to give you a cost.

I would quote you under two grand for the highflow turbo fitted, well down on the 3 or 4k it used to cost. (and what a mechanic would probably still charge.)

There is no guarantee you will get what you want with the warranty, most probably they would try and source a second hand turbo, and you would be in the same boat again down the track.

What Pn-mad said. Dealer/ broker whoever sold you the car ( not private sale) has to give you the 3months 5k stat warranty if under 10 years old and fix the issue repair. Otherwise they can take back the car and refund you in full. If not you can get Aca involved running a program that will call the dealer direct within 5 days and sort. If no comply then go to vcat. Claim under 9,999.00 and they can't get legal representation. His word against yours.

PS Scotty your offer sounds bloody good!

Tell me about it, between the cost Stao is supplying rebuilt turbo's at, and the speed I can change a turbo in now, you would be mad to purchase their dodgy warranty. Mine wasn't worth the paper it was written on...

Ive still got the invoice the previous owner of my car paid for the highflow and refit of the turbo on my car; to the tune of $4800 or there abouts

Faaark. Mine cost just under $2k installed back when it was done... I didn't get a say regarding the internals (not that I would have known anything about it back then

I think they took the engine out the hard way and just generally didnt know how to best approach it, likely wasted heaaaaaps of time. Just glad it wasnt me that had to foot that bill!

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I can't speak for the US, but for Canada as I mentioned above, all fuel gases contain ethanol. We have regulations for E5/E10/E15. Each province handles it differently but basically any fuel gases sold must be E10 and slowly increasing to E15 by a certain year.
