Hi All.

Just after some help. I have a 2007 1.9tdi. There is a really big leak coming from the turbo and sometimes goes into limp mode/overboost. So I presume it needs a new turbo.
I have a mechanic friend that can replace the turbo but what's the better option.
Buy new recondition or recondition the one in the car?
I'm not after any upgrades just need the car back on the road.
Also anyone got any companies they recommend?

thanks.
