previously I posted re our '01 turbo had died.
the after market insurance dawgs forced the issue of their "supplied" part.
It's a Chinese knockoff that looks very much the part.
But my mechanic was very unhappy in that it didn't line up with the various hoses ........ at all.
Instead of a normal 2.5 to 3 hr job, it was 6 because he had major refitting to do.
The price difference was substantial, $500 more for the OEM Garrett, which is probably Chinese made now anyway.
Needless to say, he'll still take the am insurance, but not their supplied parts again.
Do I think it's sour grapes? Nope, I know him and have confidence in him for 15 years prior with out '92 900 as well as the '01 9-5.
If you want further info, feel free to pm me.
