Ease up fellas, he's not the chronic lady garden he used to be, he just reacted badly to a couple of aggressively negative posts. Fair enough imo, we all have bad days.

That said, dr jekyll, you might want to get a bit of perspective on what you're capable of compared to the lads giving you advice; welding up an oil return isn't exactly a technical triumph lol. The advice given has been in your best interests to heed, for the most part, don't have a tantrum because somebody else knows better, even if they did present the point like dogshit.

Cheers. Lol

Just gone to play with the turbo and sort it out bit annoyed as just took the new turbo out of the box and the coldside has snapped away from the chra [CRYING FACE] may have been done during delivery but unsure. Dropped the exhaust side off it to just take a peek and see if i could undo it all and replace the cold side and looks like someone has proper assualted the chra in a previous rebuild. In other words scrap.

Dropped the other turbo off and theres no added play to it. Liturally just a popped seal so looks like im gonna rebuild her.
Im also afraid guys it was my own idoitic idea of bending the oil feed the killed the seal and not the chra rotaion tho this would of eventually killed it.
When fitting it the oil return still wasbt at the right angle so i gave it a little more tug and welll..... you can see for yourselfs


So im now gonna go find a nice clean table (prob gf's kitchen [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]) to rebuild this chra on.

Welshpug, main reason ive jumped on these brembos was the fact they were the right price and came with new pads. My callipers atm badly need a slider rebuild and new pads. If i add the cost up of fitting the brembos or fitting gti brakes im actually gonna be in cheaper on the brembos. Been unable to find a decent gti setup in norfolk for reasonable money and even the scrap yards here want daft prices for them
