If only I had enough money to buy a turbo.

The only way I could possibly get a turbo is if I did a straight car swap. I hate being cashless. That and I'm saving up for my own wedding, so it would be really irresponsible of me to do that!

Hopefully for 2009 - 1.7 Turbo.

Is that price OK for a Richmod ? Or is it about average resale price

I paid £115 for one on eBay a few weeks back. This was before bkf_uk had his 440 turbo repaired, and it wasn't looking promising that he'd be visiting Rich again, offering his ECU chipping service (here) for £80.

However, buying one on eBay did give me the advantage of not being without my car for a bit, while my ECU was being modified (plus I now have a spare ECU).

Price all depends if you can be without your ECU, if you can't then you'll have to either buy a spare ecu to send off to rich, or pay the premium to have one already done.

Lol I love the end bit of the advert "I live in a pet and smoke free home"

Nothing like an ECU covered in dog hairs and fag ash :rofl:

And to be fair, people seem to pay all sorts for these, I expect that it will sell possibly even for the BIN as EVERY turbo owner seems depserate to get one!! ;)
