 well my fella phoned the place today and although they wont fix it for free (lol i wished!!) they have been really helpful.  from the replies we sort of thought that possibly the turbo was on its way out anyway and maybe the remap just killed it off, unfortunate timing for us tho as we are due to go on holiday on monday and im having a baby and we are due to move house so money is a major issue!!! anyways they come today and towed it off and are going to remove the turbo for us and refit after we have got it fixed so not a bad outcome.  my fella couldnt remove it himself due to needing some special star shaped tool thing and him having a knackered leg and not been able to kneel for long.  the car didnt go till this afternoon so should hear something tomorrow. fingers tightly crossed for just a blown pipe or something or we will be living on beans whilst we are on hols :(

just wanted to let you all know the outcome.  well it was unfortunatly worst case scenario and the turbo was well and truely broke.  we decided to get a new one as they dont cost that much more than a recon and the company that did the remap fitted it all for us.  we were car-less for a few days but it come back today and.............its bloody ace lol!!  it go's like a rocket.  even though my motor blew up and its cost stupid money, its well worth it to have such an enjoyable drive.  i even bummed an impreza today haha

thanks to all that replied  :grin:
