I just pulled mine off to check it and it needs to be replaced. Amazon won't ship to me in California. What is a good manufacturer for a new turbo? And price range? I see a bunch on Ebay but always worry from buying there, and car quest has one but its like $630! Any help would be great.

$630 actually isn't a bad price for the exhaust manifold/turbocharger assembly. I agree with Thebigzeus, definitely go with either an OEM turbocharger or an upgrade. You don't want to worry about the quality of something that spins at 80,000ish RPM.

If you want to go a bit cheaper I have a brand new turbo cartridge that I have no use for. It’s basically the center section of the turbo.

My factory turbo went at 99K and I went the rebuild method instead of replacing the entire turbo.
