I do keep an eye on it though.Ask the seller first how its made (as their photos in the listings aren't up to date) and how many microns the filter is as they aren't all the same (85 microns is what you want) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78699-turbo-might-be-dead/page/3/#findComment-1187923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1600dave Donating Members 872 Member For: 14y 3m 19d Posted 30/01/12 01:59 AM Share Posted 30/01/12 01:59 AM Yes, its "faulty", if and when it fails. They won't just replace it for the other for no reason/no charge. Not all have failed but Ratter who's fitted alot no doubt, has noticed an increased failure rate in that style.Just keep an eye on the turbo end, they have a 12 month warranty.
