Ok, does it still move, yes she says, ok drive home very slowly, she was only 3k's from home. Got home a few days later and lifts the bonnet. Started her up and the loudest grumbling clanking noise can be herd, switched off quickly only to hear the noise continue for some time getting slowly less and less and slowing down. Ok so pretty sure that the turbo has gone, I am taking it off at the weekend. If as I am 99% sure it is gone where is the best place to go in Perth NOR. There is a place in Wangara I know of that does conversions etc.When I purchased the car 18 months ago it had an old CAPPA boost kit fitted which failed and when I took to Ford they tols me I had to remove it and fit a stock pressure switch, they also had to change the fuel lines as they had been modded and the ECU, bummer so now is all stock as far as I know apart from Exhaust which is a Manta 3". May consider doing some mods again but not sure what to do as money is very tight, any suggestions would be great.
