Update for everyone,
My turbo blew on the exhaust side just the other day, I was wondering why I wasnt hitting boost and also why my car was making this hideous howling noise, so....
We removed the dump pipe because we wanted to check if the waste gate was jammed open and there it was...... a turbine wheel with someof the fins missing :(
I've managed to source a second hand turbo of a friend for mates rates price which is handy, its currently getting installed as i type.
I'll post up some pics of the blown turbo soon
for the mean time, I've added a new pic of the front end with the front bar on.
