Bad news - my (used) Greddy turbo is now howling like a siren, my boost is gone and the bearing will no doubt soon be spewing oil all over.

My eleven-month wait for MM's upgrade kit has been in vain and I now have to swing everything back to N/A so I can get to work.......

Needless to say, I'm not happy at all......

Not.

Happy.

At all.

Dammit man!!! I have an almost brand new Greddy TD06 in my garage; that is pending to a local guy here.....if I had known how old your stuff was I'd hook you up.

How soon is the car going back to stock? Can you hold off a week or so to see if I can get my local guy to get off the fence?
