Fucking hell turbos are expensive

I just called TT

Prices

Inspection £55+vat if no further work taken on.

Replacement T34 55 maram shaft like I have is £1600+vat
Steel shaft = £635

No exchange is £150 extra.
T38 is £1075+vat


Right I don't need the maram shaft. Guy reckons it'll be fucked if I've lost a rear blade.

Here's a pic btw


So question is... is my turbo worth 150 as it stands?! Whats a 55 housing worth? TT couldnt price it as they dont sell individual parts.

Should I just forget my turbo exists and go buy an outright unit?

Arrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh!

Believe it or not this is not cost driven. I want to choose the right fucking option.
