spiderpigcity Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Matt it's no good getting depressed,it's prob only a pipe leaking.Chin up mate. only a statement as a joke, after owning to porsches from new (lossing about 750 a month in depreciation and costing 800 a month on payments) and having the marigolds with vasoline and barbed wire for the last 4 years from porshce in nottingham i am quite used to it. the best one at porsche was 550 quid for a split hose on the colling system. the part was 32 quid and they reckon they had to take all the underneath off cos radiators are in the front and engine in back. looks like i am gona ring paul and get rammed in for a t61 single. regards matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 got the cat off today the turbos came out with it in bits. whats my next step a t61 conversion or 2 new turbos. this was running at 1 bar pressure. turbos must have been knackered That's bad news What's your budget Matt? I think I said in my pm, to do a single conversion properly is expensive, minimum £8+, don't try and do it on a budget as it's just not worth it IMO. If you don't want to spend that sort of money, then I would fit a pair of new OEM turbos, these I can supply for around £940 delivered each.
