Default My Turbo Rebuild Update

My T34 has been sent off for a rebuild and just had a call notifying me of the list of problems with it

Excessing scoring on the blades
Penny valve fooked and bent
360 bearing fooked.
slight crack in 0.63 housing

and a few other bits which i forgot to write down

the guy rebuilding it even says to my mate the car must be running some high power for it to damage it like that

erm yep @ 400 bhp and getting thrashed around Silverstone twice does tend to take alot out of a turbo

I was expecting a repair bill of 250 but have bene told its gonna cost 450 for the all singing all dancing turbo properly built.

Now I wish o bought that GT35 on ebay the other week for 500 quid

Still at least the car will be on the road by the start of June even if t is only for a few weeks until my insurance runs out - then its decide to keep, sell or break
