Have a search on here bud there's a few threads about them, personally I'd avoid them.

Thought it would be too good to be true,quite a few places cropping up like them

C performance and jct cars spring to mind

as above it seems a total lash up of a place, at all costs avoid

chieftain333

C performance and Cheshire are the same place,buying everything they can and making a huge profit on cars with many issues.

Not sure they are as one is based in lancashire

chieftain333

I've seen pictures with cars with the same background,just because they are in different locations doesn't mean they ain't the same place. Regardless I've seen complaints on an evo forum regarding c performance.

I shall avoid then and try and buy my next scoob from an enthusiast

chieftain333

all i can add to this is i bought my car from c performance as i went into scoby ownership abit blind and rushed and apart from one puff of smoke lol m made up with the car

1 puff will change into many puffs hinting at turbo seal failure

angel1368

yep your probably right mate, i payed my money and took my chances so what will be will be

the shreksta

iTrader: (20)

is it a wrx or sti?

second hand turbos can be had for £60 (wrx) and £250 (sti)

angel1368

iTrader: (1)

its just a wrx mate, ive lost 2 mates recently and now my mums been diagnosed with cancer so car going abit wrong is least of my worries thats why im so easy going over car problems as theres always something worse

the shreksta

iTrader: (20)

Sorry to hear of your bad news mate.......cancer is a ****

any advice mate on car just ask

angel1368

iTrader: (1)

thank you pal, im really new to scoobies but loving it and have been waved at by 3 other owners on the road its a great group of owners, so if it was a turbo seal is that got to be a new turbo or can the seals be bought?

the shreksta

iTrader: (20)

Go with a second hand turbo mate, are you planning more power? If so it's a perfect chance to stick a bigger blower on and have it mapped

angel1368

iTrader: (1)

wasnt planning more power but if the opportunity presents itself then who am i to argue lol what engine and turbo code will i have please pal? its a 54 plate wrx

chieftain333

Sorry to hear that angel,a car can always be fixed other things unfortunately can't. Sometimes sorting problems out yourself gives you piece of mind that it's right. Keep an eye out in the for sale section there's always turbos cropping up

Your turbo should be a td04 turbo unless somebody has changed it.what bhp is it producing?

Ask the many breakers on here for a td04, when mine failed I picked one up for £60, they are not that sought after so don't get your pants pulled down on the price

angel1368

iTrader: (1)

cheers for the words mate very true about wanting to sort it myself for piece of mind

angel1368

iTrader: (1)

thank you so much for all your help and information its much appreciated, i havent a clue what its making power wise but im hoping to get her on a rolling road some time in the future

the shreksta

iTrader: (20)

Chances are that if it has had a different turbo on then the previous seller would have mentioned it

Well said mate.
We can get a bit obsessed about our pride & joys,But at the end of the day they are just replaceable lumps of metal & plastic.
Hope your mum makes a good recovery.
