Yes due to waste gate sticking

Did you keep the old turbo, if not they will probably recondition it and flog it again.

Well haven't posted in a while but here we have it.
I now have fitted my carbon rear diffuser to the car and love it.
Also just got the side skirts painted and fitted last weekend.

And still have more plans for the car......

Here are some pics:-)

Yeah I'm lowered 40mm mate. Mine has a slight rubbing at moment that's because I've got wrong size profile tyre on. Profile is 45 and I need profile 40 then it will be spot on Smile

Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Thank you! And i put it every where on the spoiler ?
yes but don't go over board as you don't want it squirting out everywhere.

Use masking tape to hold it in place for 24-48 hours without driving.
ok, thank you !
