joe-ep91 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I bought my "hybrid" turbo in the summer last year from a company called 'Power-GT' in Gravesend (I think they said they bought it from turbo-dynamics or turbo-technics, one of the two but i'm only 80% sure) and power-gt have now gone bust so i cant ask them! However recently I bought a boost gauge and found out I was only running 6psi, so a mate tried to set up a bleed valve to run 10+ psi on it. No matter what I did I couldnt get the bastard to boost more than about 8psi and it would drop through the revs to about 4psi! The bloke at a performance garage disconnected all the solenoid and pipes from the actuator to run endless boost and it didn't exceed 9 psi! (We were all confused at this point). Anyway, recently I decided to take it off and have a borrowed standard ct9 put in its place until I get it sorted. I have taken some pics for you to look at as I would quite like to find out who made this turbo because turbo-dynamics and turbo-technics both said they have never delivered to a power-gt in Gravesend! Sorry for the essay, here are the pictures:Does anyone recognise anything about this turbo? To me it looks pretty much standard , which is a part of the reason why I'm so pissed off. Thanks for looking.Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 well is has a different comp wheel, and it looks like the intake has been shaved away to accommodate the larger comp wheel.are you sure your actuator is ok? might not be anything to do with the tubby, have you increased the boost on the ct9 you are running at the moment?

joe-ep91 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Haha just taken the exhaust cover off the turbo and seen that it has a massive crack running up the wastegate, think this might be the problem!Thanks for the reply mate.Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_cl Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 well at least you no the problem now lol, thats a pain in the arse though!what you gunna do now? get another hybrid or stick with the ct9? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joe-ep91 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Simply change the exhaust housing for another ct9b exhaust housing and voila......new wastegate!I don't think they bore out the exhaust blades do they? I bloody hope not! lolJoe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
