the pipe has split on my car, does anyone know if it is possible to use braided hose instead? |

cheers for that, any experience with any good companies for a turbo re-build whilst it's off |

Hi Brett are you interested in doing it, I'm not mechanically minded and too busy running my business, I could get it sent to you? |

Yeah I payed not far off that but everything else on the car has been reconditioned new or is new so didn't wanna bolt on a crappy looking battered turbo. Eventually I'd like to go to some shows so for me it's justified. |

With my gt17 I bought a rebuild kit of eBay and my mate rebuilt it at his work. Wasn't balanced or anything but the turbo only cost me £60 I think and the rebuild kit was maybe £30. So it's worth a punt even if it fails on me. |

Sounds like too much hassle and £££.

cheers all, pipe is back on car and going great, got the old pipe welded and also got a braided one made, braided looked the best so that went on. Turbo isn't completely shagged, some smoke coming out the back when it's idling so will see if I can pick up a cheap one and have a go at reconditioning it myself |
