IF there's a good thing about your turbo being on its way out... ...it was idling at the lights this evening about 5 minutes after start up & filling some guy's BMW X5 with smoke!

Bottom line is, standard power is plenty for my needs!  I'm planning to get a painted rocker cover at the same time though!

Though I'm sure yours is a bit better on that front steven16v. Its just the way that urban SUVs lord it over other traffic (intentionally or otherwise) that makes this funny for me!

Cheers montgomery!  Countrycruising (FCSS) will fit a newly reconditioned turbo with a 12 month warranty for £600 - not sure what fitting alone would be so don't know whether or not sourcing a turbo myself is sensible... Any ideas?
