Lachlan · 08-01-2010, 12:00 AM

yeh well i already messaged them and they said they are in good nick and dont appear to have been on the car long. so i figure i may as well have bid on them. for that price id be stoked to get them.

what engine oil does everyone recommend using? My car eats oil slowly... topped it up about a month ago and it has dropped a little bit.

also would it matter if i used a different oil to what i put in last time? is mixing oils bad?

70NYD · 08-01-2010, 06:53 PM

i use 25W50 and i mix oils..
i dont think its bad personaly..

Brisbane_boy · 08-01-2010, 11:03 PM

need to know brand Mat? from $600-$?,000's. A brand new Garrett DP goes for $1500. A Chinese KKK goes for $400 or so new. So, which brand!

bourbon · 09-01-2010, 09:51 PM

id be saying $5,000 to get everything done for it...youd basically be rebuilding the engine and strapping a turbo to it with full exhaust & aftermarket ecu

NaughtyGT · 09-01-2010, 11:07 PM

my bad! I just read the question simply put. "How much for a turbo rebuild?" I had no idea Mat that you meant engine; ECU etc. Sorry Buddy

marcs_sp20 · 09-01-2010, 11:57 PM

Im thinking around 7-8k, when you have to replace pistons & rods, aftermarket ecu, exhaust, the list is rather big....

Better off staying an N/A pig
