Only goto dealers to buy parts that you can't get anywhere else.
Ford don't make turbos, they buy them in from the manufacturer.....and add a hefty premium as a bonus. I'd have googled to see what turbo (make and model) is fitted to your car then phoned a few turbo specialists.

Selling on is a bad idea, the only time this would work is if you were trading up for a car which has already been worked on or too new to be worked on otherwise you're just repeating the cycle of buying a car for it to need work on. What's to say you sell this one, only for the turbo on the next one to go after 2k of owning it?

You mong, I do have msn you know

I'm not selling, it's getting a nice new turbo fitted so it's all good.
