Got my car back tonight without any hassle, got a new turbo and oil feed line fitted and all seems well :P :P :P

Anyway, when fitting my pd160 intake i was a lil concerned about stretchin the rubber coolant hose to fit it! Has anyone heard of any problems by doin this and for ppl who have one fitted did u squeeze the hose under the intake or stretch it over??

just as a matter of interest Kenny what sort of mileage had you done when the turbo failed...

About 24K when I started to pick up the noise. Now that it has a new one fitted its feels as if its been remapped again, so not sure how long it has been f*ked without me noticing.

Glad you got it sorted, remap puts alot more strain on turbos though you can feel it and the heat it gives off is much more! Oil change every six months is wat i will be doing from now on worth it! :D PS nice drop on that just wat i looking for any contact for them springs? :wink:
