WANTED: Uk Spec Turbos

Cuthbert · 5th April 2006, 12:26 PM

As per title. I'm after a pair of low mileage uk spec turbos or, if they're cheap enough, a pair of hybrids.
A recon from Turbo technics is ?195 per turbo or ?590 each for an exchange pair.
I figured I'd try for a second hand pair first.

(Don't ask !!

)

I'm asking .... why do you need a replacement set of turbos ....

Cuthbert · 5th April 2006, 04:19 PM

No.2 has gone to turbo heaven. As if spending just over 2 grand on a newish block wasn't bad luck enough. The tubbies have done 130k odd miles, so I guess they've had a good run.

I have some in the loft, from a 78k car and all seem to be fine.

I was looking for ?300 but make me a sensible offer and i'll be happy.

I'm not gay ( much

) , but if an online smacker was possible Martin, there'd be one on it's way to you now

There's usually loads flying about elsewhere, but not at the moment it seems.
You have PM.

Dan mate, I just can't believe you have had so much bad luck with your car, really do feel for you. Can't help you with your Turbo search, but wishing some good luck comes your way real soon, jeez you deserve it!

Cuthbert · 6th April 2006, 09:21 PM

Barney, I just keep thinking that lotto wins's gotta come my way soon.
TBH I'm quite p&ssed off, I've sold some of my woodworking machines that I haven't got room for any more & was going to use the cash to get the wing & door resprayed + buy a few hoses etc.. to tidy the car up.
But now... no respray & no machines either !! I had a really nice Record planer/thicknesser I payed a tidy sum for a few years ago
