Ugh, I was driving down the road, and after about 2 months of my turbocharger whining at me it finally blew (94 9000CSET). Now its incredibly loud and is making the car smoke. My question is this: how much do you think it will cost me to have the turbo replaced by a local indie shop. Also, what is the feasibility of changing it myself because I have seen used/rebuilt turbos for $150-650 which is much better than what it would cost me to get a shop to do it. Having said that, I'd guess my mechanic ability is a 3-4 out of 10. I do a lot of my own maintenance, and I've undertaken some larger projects like water pump R&R, rebuilding a transfer case on my 4x4, and doing a clutch job. I'm going to try and get an estimate in the near future... if its out of my price range (college student) I might have to sell it. If anyones interested, I'm in Maine, 94 9000CSE FPT (with a bad turbo). 110,000mi automatic. Make an offer if interested. Thanks for your input guys. -Chris
