Haha started a bit of a mileage battle!!

Yea she's done a bit of leg, but still going strong!! AGU all the way!!

Cheers for the replies though ppl, much appreciated. I think I may hold on to the Turbo and fit it once I've got some spare cash for a remap. If I change my mind I'll stick it in the classifieds with all the gaskets and bits needed to change it

thats put me at ease alot! i thought mine was bad  :tongue:
.

It's not bad, just broken in!! lol

Unfortunately today this happened....



Mum borrowed my car as I've got her's on axle stands waiting for a new clutch to arrive!
The guy that hit her was driving on the wrong side of the road for some reason! Luckily there are 2 eye witnesses that gave statements and My mum is fine, just a little shaken up!!

Anyway, changing the turbo is obviously now pointless!! lol

The turbo will prob be up for sale, depending on what car I buy next!

I'm tempted by a mk1 tt or an s3  :rolleyes: or being sensible and buying a diesel

It is tempting! There's a real nice s3 not too far away as well

All depends on money really
