doh!

been lucky with mine, didnt get to drive the car my engine came from so didnt know what the turbo was like or if the box was any good, seemed ok today tho, phew! did have a prob with the oil feed for the turbo, didnt tighten it down enough so it piddled oil all over the drive, luckily noticed it before i went up the road!

apart from that, no probs really, slight blow from the exhaust but that will take all of 5 mins to sort
