Haha yeah thats what i thought...appreciate your knowledge, and time fella

it could well be the beginning of the end the noise but i dont understand you saying it feels flat yet you say it still spools the same and makes the same boost, if thats the case it cant feel any different due to the turbo, unless it is actually spooling later due to being so worn its starting to catch the housings. but your just not noticing the change in spool ?
Its holding boost pressure according to the gauge(i know thats not the most reliable way but it is a known good gauge) but the car just feels flat when on boost, holding back if that makes sense, like there just aint no shove.
Re; spool up....No what i meant was(apology here) it is still spooling up but it is later thats for sure, it used to be on song at 2k, but its deffo moved to more like 3k nearly, but once its on boost and holding it, it just feels like its being strangled, no go in it.
Ive an ARF gauge and i have noticed abit of a change in the fueling as well, yet everything's well engine wise, compression, timing, act's, HG, fuel supply, the lot...the turbo is the only thing left from the original car i bought
Be so much easier if i could let you have a go in it

Couldn't fault them,
Maybe they were having a bad, or my mates a twat which is more likely

you may have a tt conversion turbo for an xr2, which is a range rover unit, replace with a saab 9000 lpt turbo, a tiny bit laggier, say 50rpm but more punch if that is the case.
i used turbo force in bamber bridge preston way many times and they identified my old units easily enough.
Ive a link to the supposed unit, and from re-search its deffo this one
http://www.cgbmotorsport.net/turbo-t...urbo-998-p.asp as ive had it against a brand new re-cond one..but cant be sure of internals untill its open.
TT did from what i as told confirm the serial number as there's but its on the act bracket so tbh the turbo itself might not be one of they're own..and maybe they just dont want the Hassle of it being a Korean copy turning up, cant blame them tbh .
Once again cheers for all the input fella's
