Can you recommend a reputable turbo supplier or repairer?
The inlet hose came off my 2008 Toyota Avensis 2.2 diesel (106,000 miles) and unfortunately it sucked in some debris which has damaged the air compressor blades causing a loss in turbo pressure. I have managed to get it to a local Toyota garage and they are willing to replace it and knock 50 per cent off their normal labour rate. Can you recommend a reputable turbo supplier or repairer?
