Nackered t3

Yeah Viper Performance are normally really good in the past. Its becuase they changed there moulds from the piece i got from them before and i had to sent it back as i couldnt cut it down to fit like my previous bit.

It was a 90 degree reducing bend.My pipework needs a single reducing section before the bend and the bit i got had had the mould changed to half reduced before the bend and the rest after the bend so i couldnt cut one end down.

He said he would order the piece to be made straight away if i paid postage both ways and then post it out on reciept of the hose. I paid it and posted my bit back a week later as i was told it would take 10-12 days.

I waited 2 1/2 weeks after it was supposed to arrive and then contacted him again and was told i got your hose the other day just after i put my order in to the factory so now you need to wait til next weeks order for it to go in and then its 12 days from then.
Being messed about basically....

Anyway.........Back to turbo prices. Im after a std cosworth size t3 turbo,no bigger as everything else is now setup to run around 260bhp at around 17psi.

If you can get a good price on one let me know although i cant afford one for a month as i have too much fibreglass materials and respray paint to pay for right now

, as for the turbo, as i said i paid 550 quid for a t3o4e, brand new housings not recon, i'll ask for you.

the forward/back play is getting worse.I recon ive got about 6 weeks tops out of it now until its constant smoke rather than the once in a while when its really hot, that it does now

Im tempted by a t34 like yours after feeling the characteristics of yours at mod nat but not sure if i can afford it. could you see if you could get me a price from your guy on a std 4x4 cosworth style t3 and one the same but with a 360 bearing. I want to make a decision between the 3 depending on cost. I got a quote for 420 from turbo technics for a rebuilt std t3 unit

its ok them giving you a quote over the phone jon, but until they have seen the turbo you won't know, they will prob say to you, oh the exhaust housing is cracked, so that will be another £100, have you tried turbo active, they usually beat any quote.

yes they said that to me. you can have one of my T3 turbos mate. Both in bits.

I will even leave the car connected to it and throw that in

Try Jacl @ TURBO REPAIRS Blackpool 01253 407646. I've used these around Four times and their work is second to none. They don't charge for collection/delivery. For example a Recon T2 is £195 all in and he will make up any hybrids etc to your spec

lol ok then? any further details.

Shaun....... 420 was for a rebuilt unit not exchange

Thanks Northerner. If i can find a t3 that is worth a rebuild then i will give them a call as i dont want to send them my current one and the only spare ones lying around my way are completely nackered and will need new everything other than housings. a 360 degree cosworth t3 really appeals to me.....
