Howdy John!
I still have the original turbo, never touched the darn thing (so
far)... I was, however, lucky to buy the car from the second owner,
who practically had owned it from the start. I know for sure that it
has been driven very carefully throughout the years (e.g. he swore he
never raised the rounds above 6000!), and e.g. oilchanges have been
made very every 5000kms. I therefore like to think that it's in
pretty good condition, despite the high mileage...
The boost cut can be controlled by adding a "bleed valve" to the map
sensor (at least I think it's the map sensor), we had a discussion
regarding this 'bout a month or two ago if you remember... e.g. topic
#1047.
cheers,
Miki
PS. the pic of the little swiss' car you received only half of, it's
the same I sent you in the zip file a couple of days ago

sides, I always thought you had a low mileage car so always thought
thats why your engine didn't explode, have you had a new turbo fitted
or is that an original aswell at 20psi it must be spinning faster
then a Texan in a tornado.
