is this about the turbo by any chance:crap:

[SCHWARTZ]

Could well be, I bought it of james5 who never used it and he bought it off this wag1 as a gt2860rs. James didn't know what he was looking at neither did I and I'm only just finding out now its not rollerbearing:sad2:
I know nothing much will come from contacting him but worth a shot.

It is indeed HAndy this is the turbo Marco sold to me back in 2011 that he bought of Frank aka Wag1 a matter of weeks before. I believe Frank only stripped his car after melting the piston's and just gave up on his mk1 williams turbo. I had the turbo about 1 week as I was going to do another f7p turbo project but ended up scraping the idea and selling parts on and Gary had the turbo. I think you (HAndy) looked at the turbo also if I remember correctly that Marco was selling and you also said it was a ball bearing turbo. I have tried searching for Marco's rtoc profile and the sale advert but with no success at all:scratch: the advert had pic's and description of the turbo. I had no idea of how to idenitfy the difference between the ball bearing and journal turbo until recently with the 6 bolt's on the rear housing / core. After that thread I checked photo's of the rwd b18ft turbo I had after this as the turbo's looked the same and b18ft rwd has the 6 bolts and from I have been advised is a GT28r from the outside it just looked like any other 200sx turbo.

Gary as said by pm I feel rather :ashamed: by this, if I had the rwd GT28r still you could have swapped for it but I sold it on sometime back on facebook:crap:

Gary PM for you I just found Marco's mobile number on my old phone i think he was Fakenham, NR21 based aswell had a silver clio valver. I even found his paypal email address. I have pm'd you all of it matey:agree:

[SCHWARTZ]

Cheers matey you have pm. I feel nothing can really be done about this now but I may contact him to get thesSPEC of the turbo.

[HAndy]

I looked at the car with somebody when frank first started to break it ages ago, from the clio valver club, cant remember his name:scratch:, but was unsure of turbo spec at the time, and asked qustions about the turbo, im pretty sure frank said he had somebody build it for him locally, not any of the well known turbo builders either, which put me straight off:laugh:, although I do wish I had purchased the cat cams:sad:,

frank wont know the spec, and chances are will want nothing to do with it, or will have difficulty finding the spec from the person who built it local.

I would either rebuild it yourself if journal type(if its not to badly mullered, once taken apart) or buy a new turbo:(
