Bealieboy 1,625 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Has it had the oil feed/return pipes changed as the c20let likes to blow a turbo due to oil starvation..... I think?! Link to post Share on other sites
Mk3highline 287 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 It's had a new turbo put on not so long ago and the feeds seem good no play in the shaft at all It's had the valve stem seals done before I picked it up Just need to get the remap tweaked and find a front mount intercooler and hopefully stop there and try not to get carried away as almost bought vxr injectors and hybrid turbo and maf lol Bealieboy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
