Hi all!

After some odd noises, pulled both turbos off and found the rear completely siezed and the front moving about so much it's chewed out the internal fins etc.

I'm having a turbo shop on the Gold Coast inspect and quote for rebuilding them - but curious if there's any other options for replacement you recommend?

i.e. does anyone in NZ recondition and sell units? Or anyone in Australia you recommend who'll rebuild them that I should consider shipping them to for the job?

Honestly if the car is used everyday or not aiming for crazy power just want a quick car just replaced them with standard ones, pretty sure you'll find them.

When I brought my 7th gen awd twin turbo galant both turbos were seized I just replaced them and sold the car 7yrs later and turbos were still fine and that was set on 14psi boost too for years.
