Secondhand turbos

[MarkB]

If the price is right and you know a bit about the history of a set of used turbo's would it be sensible to fit them to another car?

[Nige_RS4]

I would get them refurbed regardless - it is usually less than £150 per turbo to get them checked and the seals / bearings replaced.

OK. Anyone know where's good to get KKK turbo's refurbed? ( in the UK )

[Nige_RS4]

I had a set rebuilt by AET to a closer tolerance than Audi spec - service was good, but they are still in the box from my S4 days.

I'll take a look, thanks

Why don't you sell them? or are they now spares for yours?

[MarkB]

it is usually less than £150 per turbo to get them checked and the seals / bearings replaced.

Try doubling that price as a minimum and upto £700 per turbo if they need more work

[Nige_RS4]

I got both of mine done for £650, and they both needed cores! They should be able to check them for you for a reasonable amount?

Ive just bought some 2nd hand turbos with 2k on them. I cant believe they will need any work, so their going on as is.

So going by coments so far. What value would a set of second hand K04's have?

[S4TAN]

I have a question on this topic: are 2nd hand K03's worth anything cash wise?

I ask because i've just had new K04's put on so have my old K03's lying around (at MRC) - they've done 74K miles but are in very good condition for their mileage - I'm sure everyone will say they're worth feck all but just thought i'd ask just in case ....
