My turbo blew about two months ago so i put a T04 turboon around twice the size of the standard one. worked ok for a bit but the standard turbo has restricted bolts used to keep the oil pressure in the turbo low for a reason I only found out today. when you use a different bolt without a restrictor it blows the oil seals inside the turbo and decorates everyone behind you in a barrage of blue smoke. Anyway for a standard or a hybrid turbo that'll work PM "Bigsi" he sorted me out with a stock turbo for £150.00 and it came within a couple of days
