just wondered what turbos on a bora pd130 and how easy is it to change? also whats the best clutch and flywheel setup to go for, reason i ask is im looking at getting my bora remapped but it has 130,000 on the clock and ive read that diseles have 1 in 10 chance of clutch going straight after a remap and 1 in 50 turbo blowing

My turbo went on my car last month and cost £910 fitted for a recon turbo.
I fitted a sachs clutch and flywheel earlier in the year and that cost £360, but expect 4 hours labour if a garage does it
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
