Need to replace turbo
I have a 1999 A4 1.8T and my dealer says I need a new turbo. Is this something I can do myself...I'm kinda handy with tools. Also, is there anywhere I could purchase a turbo unit (maybe even used) online? Please help.

RE: Need to replace turbo
Welcome to the forums!
Unless money is very tight, I highly recommend getting a turbo upgrade while you're replacing it. A complete K04 kit is simple, effective, and it's a direct replacement. It's not a complicated job either. Just pay very close attention to the instructions and ask questions when something comes up.

Yes you can do it yourself - it will take a collection of basic tools and you will want to get your hands on some manuals.
And do a lot of research if you have never taken apart an Audi before.
