Re: 2008 sportage diesel

Nope that turbo apparently hard to get. Usually foreign used is 3000 and more. Got this from a padnah for less....

This turbo basically looks like it have less than 1000k on if it even used so much

Its on the side of the transmission, but I never bother to remove it after removing the pan in front...apparently that's just to access the solenoids. But it was like brand new so I didn't bother to open the filter side
