Problem would be time off road to have Turbo rebuilt, its my only transport and I do commute of 50 a day and from where I live I couldn't get public transport to work in time. I was quoted a week for rebuild.

I was surprised to about the Turbo too but the Mechanic is a long term friend and I have no reason to doubt him on what he has told me he found. I could also see the logic in what he was saying as you wouldn't want turbo to be starved of oil on a long blast chasing another car it would just make it more reliable rather than a performance improvement.

They have taken number off old Turbo and ordered it from that, its due for new one fitting tomorrow all being well provided currier delivers today as planned, so I'll see what happens.
