Without sounding pessimistic, it'll be a hard task to prove fault as the turbo has been fitted and run. Buying second hand comes with its risks. Sorry to hear Jimmy.

Very true Jme... And I understood that when purchasing, I guess I thought some people were still legitimate and wouldn't lie about the condition of it?

But, I am still going to put it to him that he sold me a damaged product and give him a chance to do the right thing by me!

Or... he can just tell me to get stuffed? And then I am back where I am already!

On the bright side of things, I'd be stoked it was the turbo that went and not the motor.
