Hi All
I have just blown my CT 26 and looking to up grade. Looks like a mind field in aftermarket turbos. Def dont want a cheap Chinese one again. Any idea's and cost would be a big help

Welcome.

Are you based in the uk?
To give you an idea on second hand they make £400-£450

if your looking to go bigger Julian from overland cruisers may be able to help. I know he's just upgraded his bit I don't know if he's keeps them in stock.

The cheap turbos you can buy just aren't worth the time fitting them.

Cheers

don't know if you are in the best part of OZ - WA, but have heard good reports on these guys:

Might be worth a shout.

I've been talking to Glenn Munro at http://www.munroracingturbochargers.com.au/ about upgrading the turbo on my 1KZ-TE. He has been MUCH more helpful than the lot at Gturbo, and he is local (I'm in Brisbane).

Cheers fridayman I will check them out ! I have to say the feedback i got from Gturbo was great very helpful with there tech stuff and super quick with getting back to me, which seems difficult in this subject with other suppliers

I'd have a read of this thread before committing to Roo Systems for Turbo work...

Yip, I've heard quite a few stories about dodgy work at Roo too.

My Recommendation for a good quality turbo is what I bought as a replacement.
