Re: new turbo/discounted? 700 1992

A decent turbo shop could rebuild yours for about 500... good as new.

You might want to make really good friends with someone who works at one, it pays off big time.. the guy that works on my car(s) with me is good friends with a couple of guys at turbo specialties in Birmingham, al. He gets his stuff(and mine) fixed for next to nothing.

If you dont have a turbo to start with, grab one off of a car in a junkyard.. there's probably a volvo turbo floating around, even if there isnt, all it is is a Garrett T3, 300zx turbos had them i think, as did the 280zx turbos. The garrett was/is a fairly popular turbo, so finding one shouldn't be a big problem.

Good Luck and good hunting!

p.s. don't get one from a yard that "specializes" in volvo/european stuff. They'll have one, but they'll also rail you with the price.
