Anyone no how much it would cost to fix a blown turbo? My mechanic is telling me $1500 for a new one is it really that much?

Did it ruin anything else? If it is just the 9b turbo you should be able to find one in good shape for much less than $1500.

So are you just an internet forum troll? You don't own a Stealth and you ask stupid questions...sounds like it to me. ATTN mods.

Lol you still sore about that last thread twisted? I dont own a stealth but I'm thinking of buying one with a blown turbo. Finding a stealth has been much harder than I hoped.

You got me actually I blew up the turbo after I disassembled the engine, long story short I almost burned my house down. :screwy:
Just kidding, seriously though if anyones got a used turbo with an ebay account put it up there and ill bid if you got good feedback.

Not sore, just asking if you're an internet troll since you sound and act like one. You're probably just "kidding" about wanting to buy a Stealth at all, you sound like a 13 year old.
Not hard to find a good 9b for under $250, i'm sure there's some on eBay right now. /answer to stupid question

Well I must be young at heart I'm almost 30. I checked ebay thought I saw one but the guy told me I may need new hood.

if u found a turbo and needed a new hood than it's not a stock turbo. means it's too big to fit under it. a 9b has no issues with the hood(when u consider the turbo's arent even on the top of the motor)

Well if you're serious this time, I suggest going to 3si.org to find all your 3S needs. There's almost always someone parting out their car, meaning good turbos and good prices. Not to mention you could probably find a Stealth there.

well if he's serious about a stealth...and i assume a twin turbo. i havent listed it locally yet...but i'm selling my 92 pearl white dodge stealth rt/tt. great condition except black roof paint. i'm looking for around 10g. it has 64k on it. about to get new tires, new brake rotors, new clutch, and engine tune up(yea a lil late, but better late than never) it's fully loaded for a early build 92(no sunroof option)

if he wants to buy a car and wants info on it, answer it...as of right now if this was a car dealer i woulda walked out and gone elsewhere.

Punk dont you got a Star Trek convention to go to or something? And I dont care how many times you pm me I aint meeting you the Ramrod.
Yea Vector I'm looking to spend around 5k. The last one I was told to me was in "mint" condition but when I went to see it it was shooting quarts of oil out of it. The one before that wouldnt even start. Thanks anyway Jason but I'm only interested in a first generation white stealth rt tt.

If you are only wanting to spend $5000 then good luck finding a nice TT. Any TT for $5000 is going to have high miles, issues, and need all kinds of work.
liquidPunk

"Star Trek" ? jeez man you are old. I can think of many much more entertaining things to say:eek: . But at any rate, i'll continue attempting to ignore your horrific use of the english language. I thought it would be fun to argue with you, but it would seem you arent of a high enough caliber to make it enjoyable:shakehead :icon16: so good luck dude.
And BTW, There is no decent condition vr4 for under $5000 and if that is really all you can afford at "almost30" then you wont be able to afford the repairs so save yourself now. $7000 is the least you could get one for and that would be a massive steal.

an idea of expenses for my car. 8700 for the car. 9200 including taxes. just put 770 into it on a cam/crank shaft sensor and ecu(the ecu was free...sorta). i need 4 new tires(around 100 a piece maybe more) then balanced and 4 wheel alignment. could also use some paint(around 3g for a decent job on the entire car) needs a clutch(dont know the cost) but it's hanging on by a nerve) and 3rd gear grinds. do i consider my self riped off...yea. but the car also only has 65,000 original miles on it, and is fully loaded and mint interior.
so when ur looking for a vr4 or r/t tt, think 10 in what u should have set aside.
i only chose the stealth bc the supra and rx7 were both 20g and i didnt want to spend that much for 10 yr old cars. and the 2 nissan skyline r32's were 15g, just a lil too much on insurance(cant get grey market had to get exotic). the stealth also offered awd, and good power/tq. i never looked at the z...to much of a girl car imo

Sorry I aint in step with newest nerd trends. And punk I dont live with my parents so I got some bills to pay.But I make decent money I could easily spend 7k or 10k i if I had to but I dont have too. I already found a nice green one and red one at that price, but I want a white one. I even actually a found a white one but I got there 1 day too late. 5k is about book value for the car. I think some of you people spent more than you had too. And honestly Id take a stealth over a ferrari. Well I'd sell the ferrari then buy a stealth.

we didnt overpay...if nething ur just being stupid...a car is worth what u pay for it.
and when u consider that a 3s is much cheaper than a supra(same class) an rx7(same class) and the same a 300zx(same class) then no we made a smart buy.
u go find urself a stealth tt for 5g, and i can garuntee it'll have a decent list of issues. the only issue on my car since the day i bought it is 3rd gear grinding. everything else is just age

OK joe... whatever helps you sleep at night:shakehead.
your making yourself sound silly fyi. but again, if you want to still argue then just pm me dude, lets keep it off the forums because there is not point.
and again, if you get a tt 3s for under 5g's then you are looking for trouble
