LAst year, had my turbo go tits up on my 2003 Linear at 90,000 miles.
I believe I bought the replacement turbo (new) for around $800 at Eeuroparts. Had the dealer install it. I basically blew a fuse when they told the price they would sell it to me ($1,500 if I remember). I just went on and on about the fact that me, an individual could buy it at a cheaper price than they could. Guy finally just said to bring him the turbo and that they would install it for me. All in all, it costs me $1,500 to replace.
I believe the Lionear has a Garrett turbo, which is generally of poorer quality than the Mitsubishi turbos found in the ARC and Aero (just what I read...).
I am still pissed off about the fact that the mechanics just matter of factly said that turbo was shot and that it was normal after 5 years. My only regret with the car so far...
