Right just a tidgy one, my oil feed to turbo has been dribling forever but it pretty much shat itself the other day. So one quick trip to the hydraulics man and bish bash bosh jobs a good en, a nice shiny new hose. £30 isnt bad for a pipe that can withstand the insane heat a turbo can give off and keep everything running lush!

old...



new  :smiley:

Ok so plans...... right well this week im gonna 'whip' the turbo off and send it to midlands turbos for a re-build. Then on the 14th I have booked her in to have anything black sprayed back to black (thanks to thom for sorting that) and then hopefully some time after but during the month of feb I will be heading down to stealth to have the K-STAR tuned up  :smiley: this makes for one happy golf and one happy me
