Hopefully back on the car next weekend.

Changing the rear housing.
Changing the compressor wheel.
Updating bearing and seal.
I hope that makes sense.

What's the difference with the exhaust housing? Is it a larger compressor wheel?
I had mine rebuilt last year, new bearing/seals. I wasn't given the option of any other upgrades

It's a newer design whatever that means.
It's not cheap either.

That's where my turbo went. I paid £500 for new shaft and bearings.
How much is it if you don't mind me asking? PM if you prefer

A bit of a power increase its up to 478 bhp now.Excellent service from TDR again.
If you need some mapping done Mark at Thwaites is well worth a visit.
I am not kissing *** just saying it as it is.

Cool. Any boost graphs? How does it compare with the new turbo fitted? Worth the upgrade?
