Remember if your putting stock parts back in it, DON'T just throw money at the dealer. If your stock turbo truly is toast(and I didn't see anything that might have gone through it), look for a used one. There are so many out there that have almost no miles on them. Lots of used stock parts out there that could save you some bucks.

UnrulyNFS those were awesome replys. Still I hope I never need to get an opinion of a carnage pic from you! Smoky05 what is the dealer talking about pricewise? I can't see them being cheaper than a performance shop?

Get a service manual, engine hoist and used motor and do it yourself!! You can do it, heck, I've got a busted G56 tranny I'm gonna pull this weekend and rebuild myself. The service manual tells you how to do everything.


I hate it for ya man. But I never could have built my truck paying others to do it. I've made some good friends, we help each other out and save each other money.

Good idea. I agree, once you get started you'll get it done. It is a very rewarding process and will save you $10,000 or more. It is not that hard and you'll learn along the way. One weekend if your fast two weekends if your a novice.
