Where to get a replacement turbo?????

Well after a week of run around I have convinced the dealer I bought my Jeep from to replace the turbo and timing belt under warranty

What I was wondering though is where would be a good place to get a replacement turbo from, the stealership wants $3500..............the dealer I bought it from is looking around for somewhere cheaper so I thought I would do the same.

Thanks

Why would the dealer replace the timing belt and turbo under warranty?

Not the Chrysler dealer, the local used car dealer I bought the Jeep from. I bought it, drove it for 3 days and realized the turbo was gone and that the timing belt had never been replaced and was well over due. I brought it back and they brought it to a Chrysler dealer to confirm what I said. Since I bought a warranty package when I bought the Jeep it is all being covered.

Very nice that they are living up to their agreement.

As for Mopar's price for the turbo... Find another stealership, PRONTO. They are taking no less than 300% profit off you (or attempting to anyway) b/c that turbo costs THEM $1200 or so, they usually only charge $1700 which is STILL highway robbery.

Look around for your local Diesel Injection Service place, see if they are a Garrett dealer. Go directly to them. Garrett dealers will be able to directly source you a replacement, I was told that they could get it for $1050, NEW. There aren't rebuilds available as far as I know and was told.

New turbo $1144:

Rebuilt on German Ebay for EUR 490 ($550 after 19% VAT rebate, but air shipping can be very expensive, and the seller wants your rebuildable turbo) Also, the seller never explains what a "general overhaul" consists of.

It's warranty. Let them do the work. I would insist on oem parts.
