300tdi turbo re-core

Again, digging up this thread.

John I'm in a similar boat now requiring a turbo and was looking at the same cartridge you've used.

How has it been the last 12 months?
Does the turbo coming in at a lower rpm make much difference?

I'd like to read their claims for better performance. There seem to be good quality, 12 month warranty, standard replacements going for about $250 - and cheap & cheerful ones for under $200 (probably not good value), so I'd to see what your mob claim and their price.

Bit late now, but I missed the question. Sorry.

turborebuild.co.uk In 2016 it was $537 delivered, and here in less than a week.

Same thing, missed the question. I reckon it was absolutely worth it. Yes, earlier spool up, more oomph low down. But the main thing I notice is I can stay in fourth on hills, when I would have needed third or even second. Admittedly I did the pump tweak at the same time, and the old turbo was pretty bad, but all up I like it, and don't regret it, even if I'm not driving it much atm.
