Just got my turbo back

[blingsta]

As above guys, it was handed into Essex turbo on Friday and just got home from picking it up.... im gonna have a bite to eat, grab a lead light and go out to play !!!, ive got some pics if anyone can be kind enough to post up here for me.. As you know, the shaft was getting jammed, when i went to pick it up, they guy who refurbed it for me handed me a small chunk of metal and said "there ya go, thats what the problem was" quite worrying really as i cant think where the bugger came from... anyway, all fun n games and money after money after money after money, i hope this is the end of all my troubles now and i can finally enjoy my boosted cabby..

Thats them mate.... 45min drive for me

[blingsta]

im at my wits end guys!!! and i know that this thing is gonna take 4ever to drill out

[Turbo-Brown]

If it's on the tubby, tape off ALL the openings before you start dude!

Also, if it were me, I'd take the plugs out of the engine and isolate the fueling and ignition systems before starting for the first time.

Crank it over until the oil light goes out and make sure you're getting oil to your new turbo!

Once you're sure that's all working, plug everything back in and enjoy

oh man,in the adapter?

[blingsta]

naah not in the adaptor Graham... on the 5 bolt hotside housing where the waste gate is, the 3 bolts that hold the zaust flange !!

[blingsta]

just got in from my cousins garage.. we drilled it out but went a bit wonky.. looks like im off to the machine shop in the morning to see what they can do for me.

[e30_Turbo]

Erel,

Just got the pics, will post asap.

just dropped the housing off at a machine shop... been quoted £50..

[g57yle]

I cant believe your luck man! How did the rebuild go? what was actually wrong with the turbo, and please tell me you have it on the car by now?

[blingsta]

yep, all done now bro.. problem was that chunk of metal on my finger (above0 jammed between the turbo shaft... anyway, £300 later and its all done.. they just put a crappy actuator on it though, can only take 6psi..

[g57yle]

where did the chunk of metal come from?? and where is your actuator, the standard ones are crappy like that. Have you asked for your old one back? and how was your compressor and exhaust blades?

[blingsta]

blades where ok bruv... god knows where that chunk came from?????? and unfortunately, nope, i didnt get actuator back. .. now looking for another 1

[Ant]

now looking for another 1

Leave it Erel, Mapped boost will be money better spent, X psi to 4K, then Y psi to 5 and so-on

Lots of ECU tricks we can use to cure the weak actuator dude, and all safe as houses

[blingsta]

Ant, your the man dude... i will do as you say.. will get in touch with ya to arrange this in couple of months mate...
