The new turbo has transformed the car.
It's amazing how you get used to a sticky turbo and the massive lag 
The new turbo has been fitted for some 10 days or so now.
We have done hundreds of miles with a few longish journeys
The car gets up and goes with no back smoke ...... progressively
The fuel consumption (indicated) is showing between 29-31mpg
With the Terrafirra decat pipe it definitely seems to breath better.
The exhaust note is pleasing and the turbo whine is no longer muted
So my advice is if you have turbo problems just bite the bullet and change it Cheers, Dave in Essex

| Radio and Sat Nav shutting down after 20-30 secs HK System |
|
Last Sunday moved the Disco 3 for it's weekly hot wash 
The first clue was no dash clock display and radio was off - WTF
Ignored it thinking that in a senior moment I had turned it off 
It's an HSE fitted with the usual HK Infotainment 6 CD changer system etc
Bluetooth is the standard one with 2121 login
Went off to work the last 2 days and as per the title both radio and Sat Nav screen go off after 20 - 30 secs...... 
Bit quiet with no Radio 2 to keep me company
My post for help can be seen here: http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic121110.html
Looks like its a fault on the MOST loop system.
Will start fault finding this weekend.........  Cheers, Dave in Essex

| Now running with 2SO added to fuel |
|
As of yesterday I have been adding 200:1 2 stroke oil at each fill up
After the first fill and cruising along to fill the boot with bags of chicken food it certainly seems a lot smoother and quieter.
Got the stuff from JAB Spares Ltd after reading about their eBay deal on this forum:
