And not ant spin freely when the engine is off either? Any ideas? I have recently installed a earls oil filter line, would this stop it from boosting?Thanks Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove the feed line to the turbo and place it in a container and run. You should see a steady stream of oil. Did you remove the factory screen when you installed the external unit?

Where it would not move with the oil line in. Could I have had it to tight? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any marks on the inside of the inlet? Sounds like a fkd bearing and a rebuild is needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah I guess I'll fork out for it to be fixed. I haven't driven the car for about 10-12 months only start it once in a while, do you think it's because I don't drive it the turbo bearings are f%#ked?
