Last night the wife was 200 yards from the house and the car started to make a noise which resembled a loud high pitched hoover/ siren. The car went into limp mode. I plugged in my OBD reader and a Low Turbo Pressure error code was present. Checked oil and coolant and both where good, so I started the car and the noise is defiantly the turbo.



The car is sitting on the drive now and I wont drive it. Google the issue and there are a couple of videos with the same issue on YouTube which point to the turbo needing replacing. I'd take this as I thought the engine had given up the ghost.



My question is, what should I replace it with? Genuine OEM (Expensive) or an off the shelf replacement? I only plan to keep the car for another 6 months max.



Any recommendations for a manufacturer away from OEM would also be good.



Many thanks
