Where to buy turbos?

[ginge191]

Sounds like a crazy question; but trying to source a VNT; prereably a GT18V or GT20V but struggling to find anywhere to buy it from?

Ebay; only really has rebuild kits
Gumtree; only has one VNT turbo

Any info. would be great.

Ebay is full of VNT's

You just need to research what cars have the turbos you want on them, and then search for that car's turbochargers on ebay, rather than GT2052v, as that will find naff all as people with a turbo for sale list it for what its for in general

So search for "Mercedes C Class turbo" rather than specific VNT's?

I've found loads after researching the cars that have the right ones. I'm not giving names away as they are for me to buy not others (I may tell you though Stephen)

[ginge191]

Ok.. link them on FB, we can get working!

[strictly_perv]

Finding them is not an issue, it's the price. We'd be lucky to get one for less than £250

Ebay....

Trust me I was searching for one for ages lol. But yeah as Darren said the majority of people don't even know what their turbo numbers are so usually list them under the car name. But people also dont often know what they want. When I sold my broken one spares and repairs (for £150 posted!) I listed it once as 'GT1749VA Turbo' - no bids. Changed it to 'Golf Bora TDI PD130 Turbo' 99p start and it went for £150 in the end lol.

Its a two stage thing really, google / forums to figure out what cars have what you want if you dont already know, and then ebay to find the bitchs, if you cant find the turbo, just search for cars being broken on ebay and mass pm loads of people, normally get a few offers back...
