Default andy forrest

does anyone have issues trying to contact andy forrest performance. i've called and nobody has answered, i've left a message with my cell # and no call back. i've also emailed and no reply. i'm interested in buying their td04 hybrid. i've already pulled my stock td04 out. do i just mail it to them in a random box or is there a special box that i need to receive first? at what point do i pay them for the td04 H, b4 they get mine or do they contact me after receiving it. the website states 450 quid or add 150 quid if requiring a replacement turbo b4 the exchange.

any info in dealing with them would be great. cheers

Andy will get back to you, but, as above, it's just him and he's usually very busy mapping.

I can remember in the late 70's if you needed to get hold of Andy you had to send a courier up to a wooden cabin 5 miles North of Fort William.

Hi mate,

I had enquired about the TD04 hybrid with Andy. He said he's booked firm through all of May with mapping work so he's not able to do turbo work just now. I'm sure he will get back to you though; he's a decent bloke - just busy is all.

Scoobyclinic do a TD04 hybrid called the SC32 (it's not on their online shop though, just phone them).

Truth is I would rather buy an AFP one but I can wait a wee while; I'm planning the next stage of my modifications so am still gathering other stuff at the moment eg intercooler. Hopefully by the time I have everything else Andy will have some time to do some turbos. But, if not, I'll get one off Scoobyclinic, might even treat myself to an SC46!

Hope this helps mate.

thanks everyone. i own a 99 turbo 2000. as ive been reading alot about, it seems like andy has been the name mentioned the most. i have read that andy's stage 1 upgrade is 260-280bhp. im good with that and i dont need to change any internals or intercooler yet. since the car is only 218bhp i will be fine with the increased power. i already have the exhaust and decat. just turbo and remap is left or possibly seeing if the jap spec ecu will be plug in play and swap that. i will then need to work suspension as mine is rusting and its an advisory on its last MOT.
