Nothing if you chuck it in the dustbin . Only done 5 miles so brand new but i was mucked about each time I advertised it & didnt want the aggro again. It felt good .

whilst i appreciate it probably felt good but its a bit wasteful if you did chuck it in the bin.....you should have put it on here as free of charge to collector or i would have quite happily taken it off your hands

Shame it's in the bin

Don't suppose it would have been any good for a 5.4 V8 engine ?

Well if you go to the metal bin at Basingstoke tip you may be able to barter for it. Strange how people judge me by there own standards if i say it went in the bin thats exactly what happened to it.

I think a combination of your old age and too many high speed runs at various places is causing you to loose your marbles old chap!

Shame you felt like that,I can understand doing it though as there's a lot of timewasters on here but a better solution and would have made you feel a bit warmer inside would have been to have dropped it into the local technical college for the students to have a play with it?
You never know they could be the tuners of the future.

Why didn't you give it to someone less fortunate than you?

or advertise it on Ebay and give the money to charity.

I'd have done an advert for you.

Chip would have made use of that and probably picked it up! he would have sold it on for you and been the helpful chap he is.

You have loads of friends in the car scene who would have LOVED that.

what a rubbish and annoying post

i was interested in this turbo when i got my r32 as i was planning on tuneing it but then bought a monster r33 aswell.
the turbo was on offer at anything over Ł250.
its utter madness if it really has been thrown in the bin as it had done 5 miles, its gotta be a wind up i reckon.

Silly old fucker lol....if it is indeed true then surely you could have thought of someone you knew that may of been grateful of an early christmas present?
If not fair enough, you do come across as an arrogant little man on here so can see why you might have struggle with that if you're the same in person...if it had been any good mark would have had it off you anyway i imagine and sold it to a customer so must have been something wrong with it i'd say

Surely a wind up?

If you genuinely did just throw it away and post about it on here then it's just bragging about being able to afford to do so. In which case - dickhead.

You have tried and tried before but now you have succeeded in becoming the biggest bell end on here rod! What a completely idiotic thing to do. The amount of attention seeking you do is pathetic I'd expect it from young kids but not a bloke whose a few years off getting his card from the queen!
