Default Turbo Replacement

My mates looking to replace the turbo on his S2. He's getting quoted all kinds of silly prices! 2 years ago I paid £400 for a Stg2 Hybrid for my S2, now he is getting quotes for £540+vat for a std turbo & that's exchange 2!! WTF!!

Anyone know a place that sells std or otherwise S2 Turbos for even near a normal price?


Cheers
Dan
