I have blown my turbo, so time to pull apart and put on some new ones.

I am either after stock Jspecs with low mileage (under 60K) or a set of hybrids if someone has them or will have them soon.

Thanks,

Gary

be quite careful with second hand stock turbos. When people go single the stocks come off and end up in a corner gathering dust and lord knows what else.

They then get shipped by Neandethal Courier Co who throw them around like its a toy. You then put them on the car and they fall apart within a few hundred miles.

Do a search on the forum for the people who have had their turbos go that way after fitting second hand ones.

If they have been lovingly removed, stored with all the openings sealed up and very carefully boxed and shipped then its worth considering.
