After owning it for 5 weeks and having it sitting on my drive, only to move it on Tuesdays to get the bins out. I'm now driving my coupé! Day after I got it, the turbo seals went. Another member sorted me out with a decent turbo on the cheap, I had it on that week and then it sat on the drive for 3 more weeks! Today finally got to take it out and I'm totally loving it. cool

been out for a decent run, put 200 miles already, although I think I had a boost leak even though all my pipes are secure, I stuck a gauge on it, it gets upto 12 psi, then tails off very quickly to 5psi when its past 5k rpm. So I guess I need an FMIC with a new hose kit now smile
