Nah the bearings were rooted in the turbo..Got a new one from Turbotech and she runs fine now..I will be getting her serviced soon though just to see if anything else needs doing asap.

Are you sure, that's an FG colour. Whats the paint code... Is it M7 or GR. Petroleum is FG = PE

Did it die from lack of oil.  Was the oil line blocked. Did they remove the filter in the turbo line

 

If this wasn't checked your new turbo won't last a week. 

 

You need to call and ask some questions

Damn! You're scaring me lol. When I took it in, they said it was the core...and had noisy bearings.. they did a new oil fees pipe also and gasket manifold and gasket set...Bill told me to always make sure when I get it serviced to check the oil line, but he did say the job worked out great and it was all good...if that means anything..

 

Oh its Dark grey in Colour...It was advertised as petroleum grey, but Im damned if I know the paint codes...Its like a gunmetal metallic? Ill check the paint code

Better ask turbo tech did they remove turbo filter or fit a new one. If not , you better get that sort immediately..

 

Colour will be M7 "mercury silver" most likely.. Do you have the log books..

Yep Mercury silver...haha "Petroleum grey" lol I like the colour though and the dark agents look good on it...gonna ring turbo tech right now...no log books..the car had done less than 300 km in 2 years...still has the service sticker for 2016 on the window...runs nice though

 

No, he didnt understand what I was asking.Their job is to replace the turbo and do the oil etc..the rest is up to me...told me to ring Monster torque
