	Welcome to CN, have you looked at refrubishment costs rather than replacement. Hopefully they can tell you why it's not lasting when stripping down (i.e. oil supply, cooling , etc). John.

	Welcome to CN Rob, There has to be something else to this if it keep eating it's turbo, might be worth asking your local dealer if there was any recalls for such a problem or anything that could cause it keep blowing. As Fenwick has said, a recon unit is cheaper than a complete new unit and sometimes a recon unit can be built with better quality parts than a new one. Also if your doing the change yourself I would check all the oil feed and return pipes and this is the main cause of turbo failure. If your not doing the change yourself then your selected garage should check and flush the oil feed and return system as part of the job. As I've always been taught, in most cases repair is always going to be cheaper than scrapping and buying another. Hope this helps

	Thank you for replies I taken the car back off the Nissan dealer who fixed first turbo And serviced it every year and left it with a local mechanic to price it I agree scrapping and buying new car is the more expensive option I'll try get another few years out of motor yet Thanks Rob
