FAQ
-
How much does it cost to rebuild a turbo?
We get asked this question a lot but unfortunately there is no simple answer. Assuming the running components are not damaged and the turbo only requires a service kit, you can generally expect a price in the region of £300.
The best thing to do is to give us a call or send your turbo to us for a free inspection*
-
Will anti-lag or launch control damage my turbo?
The short answer is, yes...eventually.
We all love the obnoxiousness of launch control and anti-lag, but the truth is, they can be extremely harsh on a turbo!
A wise man once said "with great power, comes great responsibility".
Our advice, it's awesome, but use with caution...
-
How long does a rebuild take?
This can vary with busy periods, at the beginning of the race season we're usually extremely busy as we support the likes of the BTCC, MINI Challenge and various other race series. That being said, we always prioritise road car turbo rebuilds as we know how frustrating it can be having your car off the road. We hold a large stock of components and have super fast suppliers for anything we don't have in on the shelf meaning our lead times are always competitive.
As a general rule, we like to try and offer a one weeks turn around or less but sometimes this can be up to five weeks at the height of our busy season. We'll always keep you informed when we're super busy though!

Over time, wastegate valves can become heavily worn meaning the critical seal that is created by the wastegate valve loses its efficiency.
We have repaired and uprated thousands of wastegate valve assemblies over the years with billet stainless components, all machined in house in our precision machine shop.
