So after having the new turbo installed for 2 weeks and covered 100 miles I decided to go on a last minute ski trip in the French alps. Rather than booking flights I thought I'd just take the car. This was a 2000Km round trip from london. Luckily the turbo didn't blow up, the electronics survived the sustained low temperatures and I arrived safely in the alps. The turbo must have been assisting the high-altitude performance, quite an exciting drive for the last few miles!


I even got home without issues and the turbo is still working! How can this be done for £120 delivered?
