could this be the problem?

The turbo pack is a real bastid to get off and im not joking. Make sure you have a good socket set and plenty of patients.Craig likes getting his hands dirty, so let him do it:flamed :Giggle

lol! well, i am trying to get to it all. ill dump the airpump while im at it and fit all the blanking plates. gives me a good excuse to rip out the rats nest for the non-sequential mod which i was going to see if interloper can do for me.. only prob is that the car cant exactly move under its own steam!

that look pretty bad, white smoke normaly indicates a leak into the hot side somewhere to.
Jason @ super7 gave me a call this week and told me my turbo was fooked. I must say tho i was rather pleased with the price i was quoted on rebuilding it.

rico2k_uk · February 15, 2008, 06:43:54 PM

no point in rebuilding. cost in rebuild is not much less then getting a single. im not keeping the car, im only bringing it back to perfect condition rather then increasing any more performance. so will get a good nick twins for the next owner, and will install it all to make sure its back to full health.

Timmy · February 15, 2008, 07:03:45 PM

Just to bear in mind. I can tell you it is far less to rebuild than a single turbo conversion. Remember single turbo requires turbo oil water feeds manifold and down pipe so the turbo on its own is only a little more but the job requires all the bits to make it work not to mention a remap.

LMAO! :rollin

Dam that turbo is slightly past its best, hope you get a good replacement

rico2k_uk · February 15, 2008, 07:22:40 PM

yeah, rebuild is cheaper, but economics of it all would to me be more worth while getting a single conversion done. but tbh, its cheap enough just to buy some second hand twins to get the car going again.

cheers mate.. yes i played all day

i like poking holes!!

i will probably need your help, especially when putting things back together. if i get you to help there, might as well get the non-seq conv done properly with your help.

would you need my car up at yours, or would you be able to cme to mine?

interloper393 · February 15, 2008, 09:12:31 PM

would be easyer at mine cus i know iv got everything to do it here.

pdtaylor18 · February 15, 2008, 10:25:04 PM

Nice you found the problem. The same happened on my TII, nut never came of though !! but luckily none of the debris found its way past the cooler, so its not always doom and gloom when the turbo goes. Going single is the best option, plenty of 2nd hand manifolds and exhausts to get you started but buy a new turbo for what they cost.

interloper393 · February 15, 2008, 10:45:15 PM

Ooo wheres all these manifolds n exhausts lol..
