So I sent my turbo to TT as I was certain I had a TT S148 hybrid cos I had an invoice from 2011 in the folder of paperwork that came with the car.

Anyway it turns out it wasn't one of theirs.

and it is in a bad way.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
They are claiming it's a standard turbo but I don't think it is.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
For one it pulled like a train.

Secondly it had a non standard actuator.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
thirdly the inlet had definitely been bored out.

I compared it to pictures of a standard ct26 and it was huge, and also clearly looked like it had been machined as can be seen in this image.

Does this look standard? best picture I could find, is actually a screenshot from this video:

So they are quoting me a whopping
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£400 to rebuild whatever I have, or
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
£700 to build me an S148
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(what I thought I had in the first place).
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
and those prices are excluding VAT.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
I don't know what to do! I'm tempted to bite the bullet and get the S148 but if I'm spending that much I'd like to know what alternative I have.

Plus I've not been very impressed with their customer service.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Otherwise is there anyway I can determine what turbo I have or anything I can tell/ask them to confirm it isn't standard.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Like ask them to measure the internal diameter of the inlet and tell them what a standard CT26's should be

(anyone know that?).

Which out of the CT20b and CT26 had the single port wastegate and which had the double?
