Hey guys, I have a New GPA that was registered on the 30.12.09 but has stood in the show room for a lil while, anyways, I opened up the bonet today and the turbo seems like its going/gone a rusty, orange colour, anything to worry about or should I see about getting it replaced - its only done 500 miles.
Thanks...

the standard turbo that came off my car at 5000 miles still looks shiny brand new silver, yours going orange doesn,t sound right at all  |

just got mine out of the box to have a proper look, its in three distinct sections, the shiny silver bit i was looking at before, then a brown bit then a black bit. none of it is rusty, its as though the heat has altered the colour in different ways on each part,  |

As John said, Mine is rusty. Just seems like surface rust. Will have a proper look this weekend. Had the car since June last year.

it's normal, for one of the sides of the turbo to get rusty  |
