turbo charger
Dan the mechanic says my catalytic converter is fine but that my turbo charger needs to be replaced. Something about it not spinning right. I have to get the part thru the dealer because nobody else has the part yet because it's still considered under warranty to third party part places. I called around to different dealers and got different wholesale pricing. Cost to the dealers is about $1,300 (one of the parts guys mistakenly told me the cost). List is $1740. I finally got one for $1451. Dan will install it, hopefully on Tuesday, when he gets the part.

Make sure it is your turbo, many times they only need to be cleaned because of the sooty exhaust, What oil are you using?

That's definitely a "degraded" turbo fan. Something got into your intake and beat the hell out of it.
