Thanks for that might give otomoto a call?

[r32-25t]

No worries

Yep I got the correct one from otomoto 

Usually stocks them all here in aus

Had some time today so I got to working on the car got it all back together and took it for a drive, bit of a mixed review on the clutch! it definitely takes a bit more effort to drive compared to the ats but isn’t anywhere near as bad as I expected it to be. It’s quieter then the ats and even seems to dampen then gearbox chatter a lot better as well 

[SiR_RB]

Perfect ! 

Afew afew drives you will master it, and take a shit load of abuse !

Mmmmm gold!

No good mate. What happened?

[r32-25t]

I changed the oil yesterday and it had lost a substantial amount which was weird and  then last night I went roll racing and it started to make some ugly noises, then when I gave it a boot on the way home it surged so hard it sounded like a VL doseing down lygon st in Melbourne lol. 

So basically it’s blown a turbo, which was always a risk when they were second hand and had been pushed pretty hard previously. Now to look for a solution

There’s got plenty of time to work things out, I’ve just bought another house and have a few things to do to it including building a new shed before anything will be done. 

So basically it’s going to be pushed into the corner for a while. While I’m fairly certain of which way I’ll be going, I’m waiting to see the results of another setup and may end up changing my mind

Whatever you do, don't share your plans on here or ask for any unbiased advice. 

Just make you choice, fit it all up, get a dyno sheet and just post that, but don't talk about the turbo selection, because it will be wrong - no matter what you choose. 

Also your life sounds like mine at present, new house, new shed, engine on hold

Family and Life comes first, cars come somewhere ninth or so.. no need to be sad.

I bought a Tiguan instead, forgot I even had a project car.

[No Crust Racing]

I bought an old Land Cruiser... which might get boost yet lol

Yeah having to be a proper adult sometimes is a pain in the butt,

The positive for me is it didn’t take the engine with it (seen that happen) and I’ve got plenty of time cause the car isn’t going anywhere

Same here, car tucked in the shed, get to it next year. 

Just makes me sad seeing all my new engine bits sitting there
