Needless to say I wasnt impressed, the straight rubber joiner had dissintergrated on the bottom causing the little bits of rubber to find there way into the turbo and bending pretty much all of the front fins even breaking a couple, I started it up and everything sounds as normal as usual but what I wanted to know would it be just a matter of changing the impeller. Also I have another little dilema, the last person to touch the turbo and surrounding areas was my tuner as they done the actuator and flapper mod. Would they be accountable???Leo Edited 16/02/10 09:35 AM by revheadrobbo No need to name names here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if they did the work on the car and thought a part was in bad condition they wouldnt have re fitted it and told you about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ask you guys for your opinions.Leo Edited 16/02/10 10:17 AM by XR64LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHANTMXR6 It's not a MKI!
