So, the Noble I bought back in February has decided to let go of one of its turbos. So I was left with a few choices.

1. replace with a re-furbished one
2. replace with new.

I figured if I'm going to spend £400 on a re-furb plus a couple of hours labour fitting then thats basically £600 (in my head). Therfore I might as well just replace it for about £1200. If I'm replacing one I should probably do the other and just get it out of the way as it will probably go soon too. But, if I'm replacing them both, surely I should use this as an upgrade point...... you can see it escalated quickly.

So the real question is:

What should the new Turbos be? The car does see a fair amout of track action so I don't want big power at the top of the rev range but want quick spool, plus more power. So what is the best option available to me?

Thanks in advance.

Are they not already t25s? Or am I missing something? Been trying to research today and gt2560 seems to come up a lot too. The 60 denoting something I can't quite remember now though.

So, now a month since my Turbo blew and Jetstream have been less than helpfull. Have spoken with them on 3 occasions now and been told I would get a call back with regards to when I could get the car in to them, how much it would be as well as being told conflicting info on which turbo to actually fit so I am now just going back to square one.

Surely there is another company, possibly even one a bit closer to home who could fir the turbos and know what they are doing with a Noble. The further North the better as I am in Central Scotland.

Thanks everyone.
