Has anyone had an experience with or knows someone that has had experience with AET Turbos?

I was hoping that someone on here may have used them or at least have an idea of the company and whether or not they are good or bad. That was literally it. I went to a well known local diesel specialist where i live the other day to price up a turbo and they quoted £400 plus vat and that was for a reconditioned turbo with what they call a fitting kit, that doesn't include fitting or possible intake cleaning if the oil has gone through the intake. I'll see what these guys say at AET then price up someone to do the job.

Dealt with them for years for Turbosmart products but not for Turbo's. A work colleague had a recon turbo from them for his Golf Tdi and never had any issues.

So an update on this, the local garage i went to that quoted £400 plus vat for the recon turbo got back to me with the cost for the labour at £370 with all other parts eg. oil,oil filter and so on this turbo comes with a 12 month warranty.
i then spoke to aet and they quoted me £280 + vat and said that was a maximum cost if the turbo was repairable and this one comes with a 24 month warranty. when they say repairable what do they mean what is classed as repairable?
