Sounds like everyone is getting busy! CarlH I know you had a lot of work done at the clinic and ended up with your VF43, do you mind telling me what power you got out of it? I will be swapping my turbo sometime this year and want either a VF43 or VF48, the 43 being more easily found..but I've not seen many power figures for them. Thanks in advance!

So they've had it 5 weeks. What the hell have they been doing to it for 5 weeks? As i've seen from earlier posts, they should have been breaking their backs to get it back sooner through the amount of times its gone wrong!!

Then not to even wash it for you??


Seriously id be contacting trading standards AND taking it somewhere better


Rant over lol

My dad fitted his:



His reason for it not being all the way to the back is because his glass has the original reg plate stuff stuck back there. Still looks cool though.

I hope Amy is ok.

On a less serious note, I washed my car yesterday and it's dirty already -.-

Haven't even moved it, so many ppl have driven up the street that it's now covered in dust.
