Got the car back turbo replaced all front ball joints and a oil and filter change.

 

It seems alot quicker now with the new turbo has anybody else found this ?  Even the garage commented on the difference it had made.  the old turbo cant have been working properly at all

No, I think that is the norm. Just think for Xmas you could ask for injectors, clutch, remap,CC or intercooler and you will be at stage 4. Give yours mates a run for their money!

I didn't think Blueflame did VX exhausts. I'm sure I emailed them along with Scorpion and failed :(

Who's fitting the diff for you? Would be nice to hear some feedback once fitted as you mainly use your car on the road?
