quick question
ok so i sold my toyota and am looking for a 850 or a v70 turbo, and i found a 850 t5 that has has alot of recent work done including heads full tune up and more. And well i guess it just needs a little work. He said the volvo mechanic stated it needs a new turbo soon. The owner also states that it smokes sometimes but its most likly just the precipitation from the cold oregon weather it usually goes away when warm. all in all i was wondering if it would be a good deal to just put on another turbo or just go for one around the 3000 dollar range that is fine? here's exactly what he says:
Thanks for your help

that's a pretty good price and it seems to be in really good shape. Are you able to do work yourself on it or would you have to take it to a dealer? If it's going to need some work and you can't do it yourself, that's going to offset the fact that it's so cheap. Turbos are fairly inexpensive, especially 15Gs. The smoking could be condensation I guess, but if it's not it maybe something expensive. I guess if the turbo is worn out, that may cause smoking.

yeah i was planning on doing everything myself if it wasn't too hard. I rebuilt a 22re and put it in and did everything myself exhaust work is usually easy. and if its just unbolt and go then it wouldn't be too hard. and if i couldn't would you know the for someone to put in a turbo? around 600? more?
