Folks,
The jury is in, it is time to change the turbo in my 2002 NB. She has 166,000 miles on it and is leaking oil into the hose between the turbo and the engine. I have multiple folks, and now today the dealer, tell me that it is most definitely the turbo going bad.
So, I have done a fair amount of work on my car, from the looks of it the only really hard part is the actual placement of the turbo in the NB. Are there any write-ups on how to replace it? Do I need a new manifold, too? Can anyone provide torque specs? Also, the turbo from the dealer was like $1150 including the manifold. Where can I go to get it cheaper?
Any and all help is much appreciated!
