By the way, I love you punto. Looks fantastic! And yeah, I dont know how true the oil statement is but he works for Motex, An automotive part company.

Thank you
, your punto looks good too, they all do and they dont neeed much work on them because they look so good, i dont like it when chavs stick halfords to it and ruin the styling :bang:
I don't think mines remapped (need get it on a RR) but I can always hear my turbo spool up at the slightest hint of throttle then when I boot it I can here the boost come, in the usual turbo (woooop-tsch) noise:devil: However sometimes the boost doesn't seem to come until about 16-1800 whereas most of the time its about 12-1300 rpm. It's almost as if it forgets its' settings every now and then
As for the eating oil comment.
I know with my Dad's Renault 1.9 DCi engine if the turbo goes you must stall the car on purpose. As when *that particular turbo/engine* blows a turbo, it eats all the engines oil and spews it into the engine itself instead of air, ruining the engine

Called diesel runaway - your pretty screwed if this happens..
And is it me, or are 90%+ of the people reporting whining/failing turbos on an 06/56 reg mjet?
mine doesn't seem to whine as much it's a nice turbo noise I feel. the kind you get from a petrol turbo car hahaha
Yeah, dont gt me wrong, Mine makes an amazing sound : D I hope it isnt going to blow up But I have an feeling it might be but I have noticed no difference in performance or anything (Touch Wood ) And as I said, Mine has done it from aslong as I can remember : )
mine doesn't howl as such, it's just a nice quite whistle and a tschhh I don't think it's on the way out... I hope I tend to short shift anyway so the turbo only sees a bit of spool/boost and then I've changed gear :/ bloody economic driving sucks
