Need an excellent shop experienced in turbo work

Neema · 06-19-2008, 10:49 PM

I need a great independent shop recommendation in southern CA, preferably Orange County, for turbo work. I need my waste gates and actuator rods replaced.

still no warranty?
You should hit up Mark at MD Automotive 714-891-1113.
He's aware of the wastegate issue and has done plenty of DP installs.
He noticed that my wastegates weren't closing all the way when I was putting the OEM DPs back on before going in for the actuator fix.
It honestly doesn't look that hard to do if you can put on DPs.

thanks man, I'll check them out. . . . . . would he be able to remove my front turbo assembly in order to access the waste gate though? The engine does not have to be removed for this type of work, but I do believe that the sub frame must be droped in the front, correct? I just need a shop that I can really trust...

Maybe try Autotalent as well? I know they had the turbos off their shop car for quite some time as they are/were doing some RD Sport turbo upgrade. The tech that works there, Zolti, is pretty solid.
