Auto Parts: Turbo Solenoid, local junk yards, plymouth dealer

Question
The Plymouth Dealer says I need a turbo solenoid for my 1990 Plymouth Laser RS 2.0 liter turbo. I am told it is a discontinued part. I have tried local junk yards and online but so far I have obviously been unable to track one down. Do you have any ideas on how I could find one or a recommendation? Thanks, Kevin

Answer
Hi Kevin,

I have several of these vehicles here but I have no clue what a turbo solenoid is. If you could tell me where it is or send a photo (photos@knucklebusters.us) I'll take a look in my yard. Probably looking at around $35 plus shipping depending on how big the item is.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
