Yeah he sent me quite an indepth e mail on setting them up. The clocking part is literally just turning round the housing to suit which direction your boost pipes go although ive spoken to my local specialist to enquire to set it up who basicly slated everybody and anything and wont touch anything that is reconditioned hybrid etc. swears by just bolting on a brand new genuine part from tps... 977.00 nightmare

Cheers dan. Hi rosco ive been in contact with x man and sounds promising did u fit the turbo and then go to a specialist if so was it ok just a bit weary of causing some damage on route if its not boosting / running right on route.I can fit the turbo no problem just adjusting bit looks a bit iffy. Currently re mapped as well so reckon a tweak may be in order once its done.

Thanks for replying how many miles has it been on for now roughly?

Yeah filling the pipes full of oil on my way home from work and filling the street with smoke wasn't the best experience could do without it happening again lol. Anyone have a x man turbo currently fitted to theres at the minute? Seems a waste to go backwards.

Hi teltex al take a look at it thanks

Hi my turbo recently decided to blow up and im a bit unsure of the best solution sourcing a replacement. I believe the one fitted is off a pd golf 150 (garrett) and failed due to oil starvation thanks to a massive oil leak on the oil feed pipe. The car has already been mapped has a front mount intercooler, egr delete and de cat exhaust fitted by the previous owner via darkside developments. Hybrids are mega expensive... hybrids rebuilt via independents on ebay etc sound to good to be true and im not sure if I fully trust them. Ive been quoted £400 ish plus vat for a standard 130bhp turbo off turbo dynamics to play it safe obviously wont be as quick... any advice appreciated. Cheers

Cheers killamarsh near crystal peaks yourself?

Hi new to the forum. From the Sheffield area I drive a mk1 fabia vrs currently off the road as my turbo decided to give up the fight hoping to get sorted soon miss driving it! Cheers
