Talking of replacement turbo's, has anyone used a cheap chinese turbo before? I can imagine them being crap as turbo's are very finely made but I've never seen one before to be fair so I can't judge.
Someone needs to buy'n'try one
A friend of my uncles used a "cheap" Chinese turbo (still £500) on his R5GGT with a Clio 2.0 engine and it literally just melted.
Steer clear IMO.
Really gutted for you Chris. Hate it when you think all the work is done and something like this happens, ill keep my eye out / have a look around for another one for you.
On the 306 waiting list.
