I just took my car to the mitsubishi dealer because my spyder gst was smokin pretty bad. They told me the turbo bearing were shot and oil had filled my intercooler. Said it would take $1800 to repair !!! I'm no expert on turbos by a longshot but this seems pretty darn steep for a stock turbo. I am thinking about buying my own turbo and installing it with some help from a mechanic friend. The only mods I have are a 1g bov @ intake w pipe. I have every intention of upgrading everything else, but the turbo went out as I was just starting my upgrades. I know there are alot of supporting mods needed for a larger turbo and I plan to do them, but my money has to go to a new turbo right now. What would ya'll recommend for a car with my setup? I want room to grow and do not want to buy another turbo down the road. I've done some reading, but can't seem to find another thread with this kind've situation. Please help!!!
