yes it is a joke from Porsche for sure - we buy direct from bw and it is not as bad. Those parts like the lines used to be half that price 3-4 years ago but Porsche worked out that 996 turbo was good market - same has happened with 997 turbo now - all the lines have gone up crazy price :xplynchy said:£400 for one actuator?? :floor:
And I thought the oil industry took the piss.........no offence Ken as I realise these are Porsche prices.

I've been in the position of having to take a decision on 2x broken turbos on a 996 and it wasn't a nice position to be in - so the more transparency we can have to help when this happens on the 997 would be helpful :?:
I'm sorry to say it is worse on the vtg cars unfortunately.NickHappy said:so the more transparency we can have to help when this happens on the 997 would be helpful :?:
996ttalot said:The facts are that the quote from the OP was text copied from an email from 9e to the OP.
You have then deduced ( how we would all like to know ) that the Labour was close to £4k, that ( and quite rightly the OP ) should shop around because of the labour. Unfortunately as has been shown by our internal document, the labour is not £4K.
The problem Simon is the OP may based on your comment believe we are ripping them off. I am entitled to defend 9e.
You then say that you don't want to argue, not your intention to deflame etc and yet in the next sentence say you wont put up as you don't want to embarrass us ? So you are still trying to make a point that we are not providing a good price.
So you have the list , you have the labour and what is changed. So unless you are paying less than £80 plus vat per hour , or you are not doing xyz as detailed in the labour, the only difference in price will be if the turbo refurb is cheaper.
The point of the forum is to help others and make them informed. Your saying £2200 plus vat is a rip off for one turbo refurb. Your saying that Porsche OPC will do it cheaper.
Well show us how that is please and if you can then I will be happy to adjust my pricing.
I am not taking any post down Simon. My post stands.

Thread readers should be aware that there are a lot of 'Independent Porsche specialist Garage- Fanboys' (You know who you are) on this forum that only stick up and endorse their own garage to the extent that they deliberately post skeptical and critical comments about other members information in a bid to sabotage good information being shared to benefit others.
