Buddy, you need to drop the engine to get both turbos out (althought it has been done insitu before), so it really would be a false economy to repair one or fit second hand ones.

I miss-read. Sorry. You want to repair both. I'd get them done by a recommended turbo reconditioner.

I didnt know they could be done with the engine in. Sounds promising :)

engine out job! i have spoke to 10 different people about this and they all say how hard and time consuming this is better engine out.
