Kara GTT Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Play mate,if its got loads of movement in and out and up and down when holding the turbine by the centre then its fooked mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Check the PCV valve first mate, a cheap fix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal GT Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I had a sim prob like that, when I changed the turbo it went so check the turbo mate cause it could be the turbo seals, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 About £20 for a new one, it's on the cam cover. Theres a pipe going from that straight to the inlet manifold. Might be under your intercooler though unless you have a front mount.As some one has said above, it could be your turbo seals too. Same thing happened with my cousins.
