|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor - Bypass Valve Replacement | £400 - £700 | £250 - £450 | Replace electronic bypass valve actuator and seals | Temporary fix; may recur if turbo internals worn |
| Intermediate - Turbo Rebuild | £800 - £1,400 | £500 - £900 | Full turbo unit rebuild with upgraded bypass valve | Viable if block/head healthy; 20k-40k mile expectancy |
