thats funny, cuz everone i know that has had a turbo built by charlie hates it... the seals have gone or the bearings are shot, after only a few thousands miles... specifically, one of my friends as a turbo built my charlie with only a few thousand miles on it and LOOKS brand new... but it has about 4mm of end play, like the thrust bearing is GONE. not a very good testamet to his work. and this isnt a freak occurance. there are more people complaining of shoddy rebuilds not lasting long at all.

i personally plan to consult another guy out in Lakeland.
