What A6 have you got out of interest Neil? If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

IV been using this fella for the last few years http://turborepairuk.co.uk/turbo-repairs/ yes website is cheezy but every turbo has been perfect and he does have the proper balancing machines ( I visited his place as i was sceptical due to the cheapness) Last modern VNT turbo I gave him (08 320D)was turned around in 2 working days and just shy of £300.
turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Same engine as my old A4, get it mapped they respond very well, more power and more economy, win-win.

Maybe upgrade the turbo at the same time. Sure I've read you can have the internals from the later 2.0 170 engines put into the earlier housings. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Well seems my turbo is ok, started pulling the pipes off to get to it today and found the turbo in great condition, i pulled the egr off to find the butterfly had broken off jamming in and blocking the airflow of the egr, sadly my OEM replacement was so badly machined the pipes would not slot in it.
