Depends if the new one is a genuine Honeywell/Garett part or a cheap copy. 

Reality is, turbos are pretty simple items and when refurbing, they tend to fit new seals, bearings and spindle so the only thing let is the castings.

The turbo on these are a variable vain device which is the only other semi complicated part.

Hello, Fi's better half here.

Okay, so far ive figured out the same turbo is in the Omega, Frontera, Vectra and Saab. All 2.2 Dti/Tid models.

The frontera exhaust housing needs to be swapped from our old turbo so id prefer to just sit one in(i have a tendency to break things).

So my question is, are they all the same? They look the same. Only difference between all vehicles is the BHP.

Thanks

Got a secondhand Omega turbo on Friday and replaced the dead on on Saturday and put in fresh oil and a fresh oil filter.

Car appears to be driving ok, not a hugeee difference in power to be honest, have done 200 miles and no warning lights so I hope that's a good sign!

I will attempt to describe something did happen once or twice but forgive me if it comes out all wrong......

At times, it did feel like the car was having a momentary loss of power, and then it would feel like it was gasping for air when the feeling of driving returned

I didn't drive her over 100kph once on the way home, I suppose I am just afraid I am going to blow it up again
