Great service from CRT!

Im still waiting on JBS to get the manifolds in which keeps getting put further and further back! So at the moment I am looking for a cracked oem manifold Just to mock up with as I have to make..
- Oil/Coolant lines for the turbo
- Finish off the Boost pipework
- Move the abs pump and remake all the brake pipes
Then I have to buy..
- DP
- Manifold
- 3" TIP & Filter
- Also need a new brake master cylinder as mine is weeping a bit..
Then just need to get it mapped.
Thinking about it quite a long list still!
Rebuild kit with uprated thrust bearing from CRT arrived
And my exhaust flange from bill

Called up CRT twice this week & both times they said they would get back to me in reguards the turbo rebuild kit.........hell did they, im still waiting now

Really! I never had a problem with getting hold of them, Ask for Mark Arnald he is the guy I dealt with. You can email him directly at.. [email protected]
As for the kit it was £125 with the uprated thrust collar.
You have to really know what you are looking for when rebuilding a turbo though as the tollerances are so fine.. TO ME everything seemed fine after I rebuilt mine but after sending it to CRT for balancing I found out that the turbine wheel had been scrubbing on the houseing, it was only a tiny amount but he assured me that the turbo would not function correctly being like this. There was also some other minor defects with mine.
Just something to keep in mind mate.
Hope this helps!
bet you cant wait to get her back on the road.
im glad you had more luck than me with cr turbos!

Too right mate, I miss driving have to bloody walk everywhere nowdays!
Its really annoying because all our cars in the house are insured on a multicar policy BUT they want an extra £800 a year to insure me on my mums 1.2 clio! I have told them that my car will be off the road and I will be driving that instead but they arent having any of it.
I dont understand this because the clio is already insured WITH THEM.. so there is no extra theift risks ect. and I am already insured on a much higher risk car.. so they have no real right to charge me an extra £800!
After speaking to a manager it all boils down to "your a young driver" which makes no sense atall!
Anyway rant over haha

Yeah part of the reason I moved it was to stop them melting.. I am quite tall aswell and I have a b&m shortshifter and I found the lever was a bit low.
Its 10x better in the new position
