Mr Man Mad Scientist Member 816 Member For: 20y 1m 12d Gender: Male Location: Vic Posted 03/12/09 08:52 AM Share Posted 03/12/09 08:52 AM (edited) They said the bearings were stuffed or something?? 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??I think you will find that Nizpro are much more expensive than other workshops for the same thing... they're no better than other workshops (like some of the site sponsors) that charge no where near as much... if I were you I would get onto a site sponser like ETM about a new/changeover turbo or to repair your current one...

Car has been there before that's why it went back there. He said they noticed it was making a noise when they put it on the dyno. Might as well get it done there now, and shop around next time.

PHANTMXR6 It's not a MKI! Member 1,742 Member For: 16y 6m 22d Gender: Male Location: Earth Posted 03/12/09 02:02 PM Share Posted 03/12/09 02:02 PM Yeah they look like they know what there doing from the cars that were there...If it is repairable, would they not know that? Would there be any reason they would not offer that? Sorry for all the stupid questions I'm new to turbo cars.These aren't silly questions, however, they are questions you need to ask Nizpro.

Adam Here since the start...

Were there problems beforehand ?Yes you are.Everything that breaks works one minute and not the next. Bearings (in any form) are a perfect example of this. They go quickly once they start to fail.
