Default How would you react..?

Hi all

Just had a turbo rebuilt by a reasonably well known turbo manufacturer. Bolted onto car on Thu Night, and on sat night (after barely 20 miles) I noted that the turbo note had changed.

Being paranoid, I immediately stopped the car and popped the bonnet. You can imagine my surprise and horror to see that the alloy front part of the turbo that you bolt the air filter pipe to had fallen out of the turbo!!!! (this is part of the turbo, not the car).

Therefore, as a minimum it will have been briefly subjected to unfiltered air on boost, but more importantly it wont stay there!

Not a happy bunny
