I fitted PWintercooler kit, PW intake, injectors, 4inch into 3.5inch exhaust, Hi torquemodded the flapper on the turbo. Hi torque tuned it and it made 356rwkw at 15-16psi. It has run this tune only until now at 13000k's.Not thrashed, maybe once a day at most I give one quick second gear pull on th eway home from work. I recently had pipes off the car and thought I would re check the turbo compressor to housing clearance by feel only. As did thischeck when I fitted the mods to the car. What I saw pooled at the bottom of the compressor housing got me worried.. Pool of oil..!The clearance was at least three times what it was at 5000k's!Doesn't look good,About to head back to hitorque and see what they think when I get time.Just thinking if it is dusted what is a good replacement turbo for these and how much..? Or is it better getting it repaired?Could be persuaded to go slightly bigger for a bit more HP..Any info would be great guy'sSam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Dragons lair motorsports makes some sweet direct swap turbo's including wastegate etc.Let us know how you go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be to stressed yet. But a bigger front wheel and comp cover would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate flogged his shaft and bearing and was told it was manufacture fault. Was heavily mod'd so wouldn't be able to claim. Ended up buying aftermarket turbo with bigger waste gate/exhaust manifold ended up getting more boost at lower psi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So big fan doesn't work as hard to do the same job.. Paint that fan black and take it to SA and you have a winner...

The small one will heat up a lot quicker than the big one but not hold near as much meat. The big one will take ages to heat up but once it does it's going to cook the shhhiiit out of the meat. Now turn the gas down on the big BBQ cause you don't need it on full, it will burn your food. With less gas you can cook a lot more meat with the big BBQ but heating it up constantly will be less efficient than the small BBQ. Meat = volume of air (as referred to as boost)Heat = PSI (the pressure of the air)Burnt meat = overboost Edited 26/05/12 10:25 PM by Paulie2256 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
