TwinT is infamous around these parts
Thanks for all of the replies, really helps having a resource like this to refer to.

I have emailed Fedex but not holding my breath, One of the turbo studs was protruding from the box so I knew that there was shipping damage. Im hoping nothing more serious but the turbos look pretty sturdy apart from the actuators.... Im hoping!

I think for peace of mind I would like to replace the actuator.

Does anyone know the rough cost of one?

Thanks

Lee

I'll reiterate: if the packaging was so loose that the turbo could bang around inside the box and "protrude" from the outer contours of the box, it is the SELLERS FAULT, not the 'shippers'. (Unless FedEx accepted and item and packaged it themselves.)

I hear you Ard.

Seller has been great to deal with so far so Im hoping that we can come to an agreeable solution.

Currently now have a car I can not put back together with confidence.

Have emailed Todd K about a replacement.

Thanks
