Replacement Turbo

[RichieA4]

Hi all, I'm new to this site. I own a b7 3.0 tdi Quattro s-line. The car is standard apart from a milltek exhaust system. Had the car about 18 months now and love it so am willing to turn a blind eye to the few annoying things wrong with it. However, my turbo is knackered.

if the car is sat running on tickover for a few minutes or more then I pull away, there is a large amount of blue smoke billowing out of the exhaust. The car is a true about 85k and I hear it's fairly common.

im looking at refurbished turbo's. Any guys on here have any suggestions, recommendations, experiences or horror stories?
