If you get a billet wheel a check of the tune after install would be necessary considering your car is already tuned. You don't want to lean out.

There is a question about it though. What if it was all paid for?

Oh well all the best to him anyway.

I watched it twice and got hungry twice. Looks practical though.

Haha I did read all of that stuff from the last 5+ years before I made an entrance here. Plenty of butthurt to go around.

There's no need for us to revert to savages. Get that dyno sheet and mph then there'll be no question about it.

No oil at all would fark it very quickly. A reduced amount of oil would be ok with gentle driving but boosting it would fark it quick. I don't think you would have blocked it but anything is possible. Sounds like a plan. You can definitely replace the chra at home. From my recent browsing there is a journal bearing chra for around the $300 mark and a bb chra for around the $600 mark. http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/I.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=xr6+chra&_sacat=0

Lol not sure what I can say about that except I expect to see a 140mph pass within the next few weeks at whoopass wednesday.

Farken typos aye? Edit: I blame my trans for popping out of gear.

That'll do. As for replace, repair or upgrade there are a few choices. I prefer the upgrade path as some or most of the cost of an upgrade is already accounted for in a repair or replace. For repair there is an aftermarket journal bearing option, an aftermarket ball bearing option, a genuine chra option, along with a few billet wheel aftermarket chra options. These can be easily replaced at home. You could take the turbo to a turbo specialist and get it repaired. There was an advertiser on this site a while back offering repairs and upgrades. From what I gather any repair is using an aftermarket bb assembly but I'm not a turbo shop guy so I'm not 100% on this. Replace is pretty straightforward. You track down a stock turbo and replace it. GCG turbos do a stock replacement. You can replace it with a used turbo. I wouldn't bother with 2nd hand myself but if the shoe fits then it can work. Upgrade is what you make it. The best cheapest option to upgrade is to drop a gtx supercore in. This could involve hotside intercooler piping replacement, fresh air piping/air filter replacement and obviously tuning in any case of an upgrade. There is a bolt on gtw3884r upgrade available from a couple of shops. Then there is full aftermarket upgrades of which you'll find details in the 500rwkw+ threads.

Yeah it's normal for anything to wear out over time and obviously when you increase the strain on a part it will wear out quicker. There are plenty of variables that go into how long a turbo lasts. There is a bunch of info on this site that pertains to removing the stock turbo oil filter and replacing it with an aftermarket version. @k31th or anyone else, would you mind doing the honours and linking some stuff, perty please?! I had a turbo make your exact noise on my xr6t and I replaced it immediately so I can't say firsthand how long yours would last. I personally wouldn't run it stuffed for any longer than I had to. You could nurse it for a while but it won't get any better and eventually the compressor wheel will touch the housing and start adding ground metal to your intercooler. The bearing assembly will be adding a small amount of metal to your sump and eventually add quite a bit more. In short, it's farked and you should replace it asap along with checking or replacing the oil feed.

^ That's the thing that stuck out to me in the 3rd picture. If it rubs it could leak eventually.

Must be. Lemme just go check in the fridge for a t-shirt real quick.

Whoops I just realized my typo. I meant Arron lol. My brain done did a goof

Huh? That post made my trans pop out of gear.

It's rooted. How you fix it can vary.

Aaron please explain how @JETURBO tunes a gen2 gtx2582r to a tad over 500rwkw at 21.5psi yet a stock turbo goes over 480 at only 16.5 psi.

Haha you're a turkey k31th. Any pics better than no pics aye?

Indeedely doodely neighbouroony.

There are three 12v pins in the towing loom that could be used. Without the tow loom plugged in it'll just be a matter of doing what Gaz has already done, finding a 12v source from the back somewhere.

If it pulled too much current a fuse would blow. Do you have the polarity correct? Maybe there is a contact issue within the cigar socket?

What was it?

Oh well I wasn't far off the mark lol.

Something about chromosomes...
