The turbo itself made 180rwkw but was de-tuned so it would last the month however it didnt even last a night. I can still drive it just need to keep it below 2500rpm otherwise it starts to get a bit too excited. Goes back Jan 3rd and should with a new turbo easly make over 200rwkw.

Too bad about the dud mate, that must have really ****ed you off. Will be great to see what figures it makes with the new turbo.

nice work on the interior etc. as far as the economy goes, 190km for half a tank seems right to me, if not better than usual!

Nah neither it was pretty much dead. It had been sitting around so long the seals in it went hard which gave the appearance of no shaft play however once it got running the thing has nothing but shaft play in it. The unit itself is useless and wouldn't even be useful as a door stop
