Default takes the P**S

new turbo is screaming its head of after doing 250 miles,
i am never using turbo force ever again, im going to order a
turbo technics one i think, i cant be doing with this.

took main hose of and comp wheel has right amount of play in it but there
is oil all over boot lid and it must be from turbo cause its only started doing it since it was put on

so im thinking may be an internal bearing is fooked

I feel for you mate as i have been there with crap turbo companys, all turbo companys have shit warrenty's so your doing the right thing by going to good company now to build you one as you narrow down the chances i suppose.

chin up mate.

Me and my mate Ian have just been talking about turbos and turbo reconditioners. Apparently the tolerances are in microns which is why some of these smaller companies can't get them spot on....

only an advised, cant always do it in the real world

turbo Techincs have the reputation they deserve - a good one

Why bother going £50 cheaper when u don't even know what they like - use sense this time and do it properly

If you can't afford it - wait until you can
