Maybe we should have something in the "What to look for when buying a Z guide" as I'm starting to think that not only my Turbo actuators have been replaced with Turbotechnics jobbies!

 

I was on Turbotechnics website and noticed that they do hybrids etc.

 

I've mailed them to see if they've got any record of any work carried out on my car by them in the past.

 

If my engine hadn't come out it would have been nigh impossible to see that even the actuators aren't stock as the Turbotechnics plate is right underneath and pretty much obscured from view.

 

I mean obvious mods are exhaust, wheels, bodywork etc. But things like boost upgrades with welding tips in the IC lines or whatever aren't anywhere near as easy to spot to a potential buyer unless they are well up on tuning!

you know its been modded if it goes fast er than normal

Yes, I agree, but I just got off the phone with Turbotechnics this morning. I was ringing to see if they could tell me anything about my car seeing as it's got their actuators on it!

 

I started thinking that maybe some work had been done on the turbos aswell.

 

They've told me that it's unlikely that just the actuators would have been replaced and can't be 100 percent sure without the s/n off the plaque on the turbos but he thinks I could be running with hybrids and possibly stage 1 or 2 conversion.

 

I need to check the s/n on the turbo and get back to you, but classic case of not being able to tell what the fuck is going on. To look at the turbo it might look stock. But how would you know that you've got 360 degree thrust bearings inside etc.???
