If you were getting a receon it would be beneficial to change sooner, but if you're going for a new turbo, i.e hybrid on exchange basis, it doesn't matter so much. Death-rattle-tastic

Anonymous Unregistered A	It's a Turbo Technics S161 hybrid that the BenH / Fishy_Dave Coupe is running. I can confirm that it's an excellent, flexible unit that makes for a great drive.
