As Barbz is now away till mid Jan is there anywhere else that can supply a hybrid turbo to fit straight onto 20vt with no adaptor plates etc.? just in case.

Try ITS turbos in huddersfield and dont use GP turbos, of course from my own experience the latter

Try contacting with Fishy Dave or BenH, in his old Sprint bloo one, he got a turbo from somewhere else I believe

Turbotechnics is where Dave got his turbo, not cheap but good quality.

Or you could try turbo dynamics (thats where barbz gets his turbo's) but Im sure everywhere will be closed for christmas now.

If it's just smoking occasionally then you'll be fine driving it for a few weeks longer. Just ignore the people staring at the smokescreen behind your car

I ran mine with a knackered turbo for ages. 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.

Turbodynamics are a lot more expensive directly, a lot cheaper via Barbz.
You can get an adaptor plate directly from turbodynamics, and then its straightforward to fit a roller bearing...

Everything in the UK is expensive. We get ripped off daily

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.
