Back in January '09 the compressor wheel on the turbo committed suicide by kissing the housing and shattering into a thousand pieces, lodging itself inside the motor. I got my arse into gear recently, got the motor rebuilt, and purchased a freshly built modified turbo and re-cored intercooler from Jarrad at turbo care in Chch NZ (http://www.turbocare.co.nz)
I can't speak highly enough of the level of service that Jarrad provides!!
Also - a BIG thank you to all of those on this forum who provided the help I needed when I was re-installing the motor!
