Yeah BIG ,look at the pic Paul posted in his link :blink:

That duty calculator is hilarious,£300 for $2000 :lol: more like £175. On average if i import $5000 the import is around £340 ish.

Thats probaly £598 + vat i bet.The 525,s use brand new cartridges from garret not rebuilt s/hand ones.If its £1200 + vat id deffo spend the extra and get new.

They are a designed and made to fit kit,but you may need a little grinding on the drivers side engine mount bracket and will have to relocate the oil pressure switch.To answer Marks question i dont mate,speak to Josh at z1 for more info.

Thank you James, another man that speaks with experience.They are not the best turbo out there by far but what they are is the best bolt up four bolt exit turbo youll buy.Hassle free,no fabrication or modification and great gains and reliability.

CHEAP = PAYING TWICE bud.Rebuilt tubs can be a gamble as can second hand ones,e bay ones well forget it so what you left with ...............

They offer them in .54 or .63 ratio.I usually fit the quicker spooling ones .54. Alanz has them,Joelyp has them,Leo has them also.Check my rides 436rwhp before i ported my heads !! on a bolt up turbo.Mine are 4 years old now and still fantastic.Alanz has had his 3 years now and he still loves them.

$1700,add some shipping,import and a surcharge cus you,d be mad to send your old ones over.Cheap imho.

Leon at Alunox will make you some.He does custom work and makes exhausts,intercoolers and any other bespoke items like that.

If you want bolt on,no feckin around and similar spool up to stock then the z1 gt525,s may be for you.I have them and have installed several sets on peoples cars,capable of 450bhp + and not too expensive.

even if the pipe had corroded it still wouldnt drip as you topped the oil up.get it on a ramp and have a look.may be a corroded sump by the sounds of it.

i still say if its been stood it needs more of a chance before you give up.

cheers guys its good to hear peoples experiences.

Best wishes to everyone,next years gonna be tough for a lot of people,lets hope its all good for us on here.

Thanks for the repiles guys, im looking at spending around £1500 i suppose,would love to spend more but i have a load of building work to undertake in the front room and hallway so thats gonna zap a bit of lolly.I heard loads of bad stuff about how shoddy DFS Stuff is,and then did some homework on SCS and every review i found was negative,sofa damaged,breaks in months,not delivered for weeks when promised.Jesus its a minefield.I know all these places say the chairs have a ten year guarantee but from what ive gathered they usually dont honour it.

Missus took me around a load of furniture shops today :sleep1:.Jeez was mind numbing.Found a few we liked but when i got home and checked the retailers reviews :ohmy: .Has anybody on here had a bad experience with SCS or DFS ? seems lots of people have.

Youd have to be different wouldnt you :lol:

Dont you mean less as the axis is the lower balljoint ? :oops:

My thoughts exactly,dont get me wrong i loved top gear but some of the cars they are ruining now is a joke to get more laughs !! and showing Clarkson releasing r12 gas to ruin Mays air con was just plain daft,thats a fine of up to 10k in this country i was told on an A/C course.Its got predictable and rather purile imho.

just found the special notice http://www.motuk.co.uk/images/SpecialNotice05-93.pdf

worn tension rod rose joint almost for sure,rose joints were never intended for road use so pot holes etc wear them out in no time.Jack up the car and lever the tyre,youll be surprised,dont be worried about slight movement in the top arm bush as that is normal.Vosa put out a special notice around the time the 300,s started needing mot,s as testers were failing them when they were fine.

Even with that low compression it should still start eventually,bare in mind your not sure if it flooded so it may be bore washed which would explain the compression figures.Get it up and running first before condemning it.The lifters will take a while to prime up so the valves may not be opening properly.dont give up yet.How are you supposed to strobe it with no timing mark on the damper?.Put the stock one back on,set to tdc then mark the engines position,put car in gear too hinder the engine turning.Refit the underdrive pulley,check you engines not moved off tdc then mark new pulley.

Have you actually cashed the money in and what illegall drugs are you currently administering by intrevenious injection ?

A scam is where there is some sort of intelligent trickery,that e mail certainly does not fall into that catergory !! how anyone could fall for that god only knows.I wouldnt even describe that as a "scam" its so poorly devised.A random e mail offering you $14 million i mean come on please,anyone that is that greedy and sends details imho deserves to get screwed anyway.

Its more than likely the screw the pod is held with has pierced the targa drain tube in the windscreen pillar.
