There is alot of information on n54 turbo replacement. I got quoted around 5-6k for replacing both turbochargers at a independent mechanic. Lol

Did that include cost of turbos? That's extremely high.

Yes including new OEM turbochargers. I'm sure you can find cheaper but like except to pay a hefty penny. :

You can go with pure stage 1 or OEM ... We offer both

Hello Im just looking to find out where to buy the most cost effective turbos, should I buy rebuilt if so who is best rebuilder are there any issues. Or should I buy new and from whom. I will do labor myself.
Thanks

You should upgrade your turbos to at least stage 1. I'm almost positive anything you find online is a rebuilt turbo. After replacing mine with oem turbos only to have them still fail, I would not advise going oem when the price difference is negligible.

What happened with your OEM turbo replacements?

Also, anyone got an idea what the cost like to get a shop to replace turbos?
