Default Turbo Upgrade?

Hi.

I've come to the conclusion that I might be better off buying a car that is already turbo'd.

I have found a KC with a BPT conversion, the only thing wrong with it is the turbo has a small oil leak.. So what I want to know is:

Am I better off getting it fixed ( price ) or should I just get a new turbo? anyone have any suggestions on both?

Cheers,

Chris

If the price is right get it fixed or even just put in a different turbo. They're not that expensive.

You'll find that buying a already modified car is so much cheaper in the long run, just look it over with a fine tooth comb before laying the dollar down.
