You will have better luck posting this in the "Parts Wanted" section of the forum. also the words turbo and cheap really don't go that well togather. When moving your post to the "wanted" forum add how much your willing to spend. stock referbished turbo I would be expected to pay 200 or more. (just what sounds resonable to me). also, how goes your engine trouble you do any checks? what were the results. one problem at a time man

oil on the spark plugs? isn't that indicative of oil seal or valve gasket leaking? If I remember correctly, Turbo engines generate their spark from the CPS (cam position sensor) rather than a rotor in a distributor cap. I'd have to imagine it could be timing, could be a bad sensor, even seized cams.

Also, if you're not getting spark, you might want to check components in the ignition system prior to the inner workings of your cylinder... battery, starter, etc.. hoping that any discrepancies in my statement(s) will be corrected by those who know better... so not only might this be helpfull to OP or anyone else doing research, but also educate and correct my misconception(s).

I did a quick search for "no spark" and came up with the same things. I doubt he did any troubleshooting cause he never replied. instead just asked for a turbo. I hope he does do some testing and posts about it. I'm terribly bored and would like something to research on, both for his knowledge and mine.

ok i fixed my car all i needed was a new battery fixed my turbo but now it lags boost when i step on the gas it goes but then it starts to bog and it starts to backfire why

possible o2 sensor or otherwise clogged exhaust system, or possibly your timing (can't remember which type is which, sorry)

glad to hear the problem was at the battery. could of been able to asses that problem if you described what your car was doing in the process (ie. slow crank at start up) instead of (no start) that is most def a batter problem. I guess I coulda offered that as a suggestion to start with but decided to skip the ez things figuring everyone knew what a dead battery sounded like.
to start, what did you do to fix your turbo? What exactly was your tubo doing that required fixing? booste leak + over rich fuel spray can cause turbo bog and backfire I supose. as the post above says "check your timing" and pull the codes to see whats going on.
and like always, don't create multiple threads asking the same questions. your problems won't be solved. its just annoying.
