My turbos gone this morning :cry: and im limping around struggling to get above 50mph!!!!
got the feeling its gonna be an expensive month!!

No boost is expanding the hoses on revving the engine, nothing detached, cant feel any splits,

no smoke though?!?!?

I had to have camshafts replaced as well as the tappets and bolt, then the cambelt and water pump, then a major service on top of that! I'm pretty skint now so coilovers will have to wait ha
