Not happy, only done 500km in the car since purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"new turbo" seems like an extreme diagnosis, it could most likely be repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty inclined to question it, but I noticed Nizpro seems to be a fairly decent joint, anyone think otherwise? Are they doing the right thing??

Then ring around some other shops ( site advertisers) and make a call on who you want to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would there be any reason they would not offer that? Sorry for all the stupid questions I'm new to turbo cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
