Title: playing turbo
Post by: Jas on September 13, 2009, 07:57:11 PM
im striping my fd and have noticed the small turbo has a small amount of play on it i can move the center thing:xconfused (fan bearing?) from all most side to side and im sure it should not do that :2Mad
i was told that they were new turbos
ill look a little more in to it once there off but i might just have to send them off to get sorted anyone know a good place to fix it

Aren\'t the FD turbos journel bearings like the FC ones, if so, they should have a bit of play but a lot of movement sounds bad...oh well single upgrade turbo ftw :) lol
