Turbo Replacement Options – What Works Best for You?
When a turbo fails, you typically have three choices: replace it with a brand-new turbo, install a fully rebuilt exchange unit, or repair your existing turbocharger. Each option has its benefits, and at Brisbane Tuning & Turbo, we guide you through the best choice for your vehicle and budget.
1. Brand-New Turbo Replacement – The Ultimate Long-Term Solution
The most straightforward and reliable option is to replace your worn-out turbo with a brand-new one. This ensures maximum longevity, factory-level performance, and manufacturer-backed reliability.
Perfect for: Vehicles with high mileage (150,000 km+), extensively used work utes, or those needing guaranteed long-term reliability.
Best for “keeper” vehicle owners: If you plan to keep your vehicle for many more years, a new turbo replacement is the best investment.
Peace of mind: A new turbo comes with a full manufacturer’s warranty and is built to last as long as your engine does (hopefully) 🙂 A new turbocharger comes with 12 months wararnty.
While this is the most expensive option, it is also the most secure, ensuring trouble-free operation for years to come.
2. Rebuilt Exchange Turbo – The Smart Money-Saving Option
If you want a cost-effective alternative to a brand-new turbo but still need performance and reliability, a rebuilt exchange turbo is the best available solution.
At Brisbane Tuning & Turbo, we keep a stock of high-demand turbo models sourced from wreckers and low-mileage vehicles. Each unit is fully disassembled, inspected, and rebuilt using new components, ensuring that it meets or exceeds factory specifications. That makes those turbos almost new again; many would call those turbos “recycled”, yet we prefer to call them “reman”.
Perfect for: Drivers who want a more affordable replacement without sacrificing quality and performance.
Best for fleet operators and high-use vehicles: If your vehicle is used daily for work or towing, an exchange turbo is a smart, budget-friendly choice.
Fully warrantied: We provide a full warranty on rebuilt turbochargers so you can drive with confidence.
Think of it as giving a turbo a second life, where only the worn-out or damaged parts are replaced. It’s an economical and reliable alternative to purchasing a brand-new unit.
3. Turbocharger Repair – The Most Affordable Solution (If Viable)
In some cases, your existing turbo can be repaired rather than replaced, easily saving you hundreds or even thousands of dollars. However, not all turbo failures can be repaired—some may have severe damage that makes repair impractical or too expensive.
At Brisbane Tuning & Turbo, we conduct a comprehensive turbo inspection to determine whether your turbo is a candidate for repair.
Perfect for: Drivers who want the most cost-effective solution, provided the turbo is still in reasonable condition.
Best for mild turbo issues: If your turbo has minor oil leaks, bearing wear, or actuator problems, a repair could restore its performance.
Fast turnaround: Repairs are often quicker and cheaper than full replacements, getting you back on the road sooner.
Not all turbos can be repaired, so it’s best to call us first to discuss your situation.
