Universal Turbos

Prompted by Blu73 cheers for reminding me dude!

if u have any issue with your turbo charger... give Universal Turbos a shout

www.universal-turbos.com

i've had my turbo collected, diagnosed and repaired in less than 48 hours, might even get it back tomorrow which will be 2 day after it had been picked up!
