Driving home from a friends yesterday, I gave it a little squirt and as boost came on, I noticed the noise was a lot louder than usual. Babied it home as I thought I knew what was wrong. When I turned the car off, my suspicions were confirmed, from inside the car I could hear woosh woosh scrape, woosh woosh scrape. Popped the bonnet pulled the front pipe off and checked for play, there is none, so the shaft seems to be good and there is no rubbage on the front housing, cool. So now it's off with turbo and over to Rotormaster some new bearings. I bought the car brand new in Sept 04, and had it tuned at 30,000 kms. It has now just ticked over 116,000 kms. So it has survived my driving, with a minimum of 250rwkws for almost 4 years and 86,000kms. I am pretty happy with that, considering todays throw away ideals. I still think this is the best bang for your buck car that Australia has produced, EVA! goodnight.
