wagnman Member 567 Member For: 15y 5m 8d Posted 08/11/12 09:57 PM Share Posted 08/11/12 09:57 PM (edited) Ahhh you have suffered the same fate as me from c4c lol and you are getting the same turbo as well. I'm living the GTX it's a great turbo.Im on my third turbo and I've only gone 45000 K's lol. Although my car doing 45000K's would be like a normal persons car doing 250000K's haha.

Mines only done 27000 kms in 4 years. The poor GTX42 didnt have much of a life. Ate a gasket not long after it was polished. Wont be going down the bling path ever again.And you cant go wrong with the GTX's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
