    Always recommend these chaps, customer service/delivery/goods are second to none. Turbo pulls hard with phase 2, never smoked, not even a whisp....

    Mine cost me £400 for a recon unit in exchange for a seriously battered turbo (shaft was snapped, centre housing was totally un-useable)

    Got it next day aswell with a guarentee

    I would without a doubt use AET turbos, based in wakefield. The customer services are awesome and the work they do is spot on. Never had any problems with the unit from them. Used them 4 times now!
