Does any one know of anywhere to get a good quality rebuild kit for Borg warner turbos?
Or even just oil seals?

Strike that
any good company's that people have used to rebuild turbos?

AET turbos.

its not a rebuild kit but shows promise that they stock such things- only thing I've bought directly from them was an actuator

Good stuff, cheers,
But i'm probably just going to send mine off to be rebuilt,

I noticed it was blowing oil/smoke on the overrun just after boost the other day,

so i've just pulled it off, and there's a fair bit play in the shaft, but no oil in the inducer side which is a good thing

i've never rebuilt one to date, so i'll leave it to the guys who know what their doing

We used them for quite a few turbos at my old place. Never had any issues at all.

And the company my boss used to work for they supplied turbos for them too, which generally involved drag cars.

that turbo fooked already craig ?

Not fully, I think I caught it just in time,
it was blowing on the overrun, so i pulled it for inspection,
found a bit play in the shaft, there's no damage to any of the fin's or the housing
so thats a good sign.


but tbh, I thought it would of lasted a bit longer than it has,
might just be a weak bearing that needs upgrading to a stronger/billet type...?

yeah I would have thought it should last abit longer than that I'd be rather disappointed my self

It is a bit of a kick in the balls,
but I suppose it could of been worse,
at least it didn't explode at 6000rpm in 5th, in the middle of nowhere lol

Well, in for a penny and all that.....

id be screwing

you should have some side to side play thats just the oil tolerence but that fook

I think i'm more shocked than anything else,
I thought it was just the oil seal that had blown, until i stripped it down


but your right, it's f u c k e d

i cant get over that crack

How long you had it? wouldnt that be covered by some sort of warranty?

Thats shocking and i too was under the impression Borgs were tough

It's been just shy of 3 years since I bought it,
Not that it's had 3 years of use, its not a daily and is tucked away as soon as the gritters make an appearance,
The warranty I'm sure was only for a year, I did get paperwork with it, but can't fooking find it!!!

I'm going to strip the engine to the bare bones, just to make sure there was nothing on that side that caused it,
But going on first looks,
The center bearing has cracked causing the excess movement, that's fooked everything else.


Time for the mighty holset HX40 I reckon.

I've always used turbo developments in brentford

Never a problem with them

The warranty is
100,000 miles or 12 months, whichever occurs first

Cheers kos, but this is totaled,
It's just not cost effective to even try and save it

Still worth talking to them if you want something new or custom built

He's done custom turbos for a lot of people I know

Come over to the hx40 club Craig

boost junkies the lot of ya !
