the turbo on my 850 just went. Where can i get it rebuilt. i already took it to 2 differrent garages and was given estimates in the $1200 range. I know on one of the other forums some people were saying it should be around $300. Where should i go to get this done?

 

I've never done it before, so I don't know how to help you.

But you could get a brand new turbo for 1200, let alone rebuild it...
You could also get a used turbo at a junkyard for around 300...

Edit: What year do you have?

Double Edit: And is it a Turbo or R??

Triple Edit: LOL. This will help you find what model turbo you have..

This is provided in the link above, but I will qoute it for you.

"Turbo Repair: You may send us your turbo for a free estimate. Upon receipt of you turbo, we will inspect it and give a free quote for repair. If all your turbo requires is bearings, seals, balancing, and cleaing, your price $275.00, plus freight. If your turbo requires extra parts, we will quote those additional parts as an adder. If you approve the quote, we will repair and return using your charge card or COD shipping. If you do not approve our quote, we will ship the unit back for the freight cost only. If you order a rebuilt turbo, you will be charged a core charge. The refund will be issued on this core charge, only after we receive and inspect your good, rebuildable core. You will be responsible for any damage repairs to your core."

 

my car is a 850 glt 2.4l 1997. it has 170k miles on it so i dont want to invest $1200 in a new one. i dont know anything about cars so i dont want to attempt getting one from a junk yard. but ill try the link u posted. thank you

 

^Sounds good.

If but according to the chart, you have a 13G straight flange turbo. You may want to call up some local junkyards and see if they have one. It probably will be cheaper, but the downside is that it's not going to be "new" as if you had it rebuilt.
