Turboboost closed ages ago. I believe the unit is still as it was the day it closed although I might be wrong or it could have all been sold off now...

TS are still going as are Collins...

The owner of Turboboost screwed Kenny and I out of a large lump of commision very shortly after i started there as the office manager, my aim was to try and turn teh company around after their reputation dropped, so we both walked and Opened up Motorsport Developments.

The rest is history, as is Turboboost. lol

Sue is still going stromng with Collins, As is Tony with Turbosystems. Never had any dealings with Castle, so no idea on those.
