Hi
I am new to z Twin Turbo world....I had 1984 Turbo and I love it..I am in process of buying 1990 TT at great price $3000 with 100K miles on the car,but the problem is, It smokes really bad,the owner told me the one of turbo's is not working and because of that it the oil going into the Exhaust and that is why is smoking, he told it need to be replaced.My questions are;
1)Is this correct? Or The car needs new engine?
2)If this true,then DO I need both turbo to be replaced?
3)Since I am on tight $$ and can't buy new turbos,is there any place that can rebuilt them cheap?

Any info it would be great,Again I would like to thank you in Advance.Joe

 

i would recommend not buying this car, because you will be putting ALOT of money to bring it just back to par....

look at ATLEAST 6k to have turbo's replaced...they have to pull the engine, and each stock turbo costs about 900-1200 a piece, and you can upgrade to JWT sport 500's for just about 1700...

rebuilding is about 500 a turbo..and i do not recommend doing this process....stay away from this car and just buy one thats in better condition..in the long run it will save you money and less hassle with your car in the shop.
