if needing to get a new turbo......

[iamlegend]

right all you may no my car is in the garage atm been there for a bloody week and they still avent looked at it there really pissing me off, but if the turbo has gone on it and needs repairng its going to cost like 500 quid so what i was thinking was mabys getting a bigger turbo am not really sure thow becouse what will i need if i did want to do that ? all i know is a exhaust manifold.... what else?

cheers

edit: what turbo do i have atm? the stock 1? its the ct9 isnt it?

[andy.i]

£500?!

get a 2nd hand ct9, and fit it yourself

save you about £350

if you dont want to spend a big amount of money i would do the above. But a hybrid would prob be your best option if your looking more power. an if you have a stock turbo it will be a ct9

[iamlegend]

yee think ill just go with the stock ct9 becouse dont wanna splash to much money out.

another thing what does it mean turbo A or turbo B what 1 do i go for?? what was my stock 1 in my GT?

[Bildo]

A would be the stock one in your GT previously.

[iamlegend]

cheers, whats the difference between A and B??

[andy.i]

ct9b are from glanza's, one more blade on the exhaust side i think?

[iamlegend]

cheers for the help guys staying with the stock turbo is what i am doing for now but defently in the future will be getting a biiger turbo:)

another thing you kno the glanza turbo stock b i wouldnt have to change anyhting else would i? just be a straight swap with the other turbo (ct9 A)

[andy.i]

dont think so, as its the same housing etc, but i might be wrong......

[iamlegend]

seems to be no second hand turbos, were can i buy a brand new turbo from ct9

I'm fairly sure these are the same unit, compare the part numbers

Straight swap mate, I ran one on my auto GT for a while. Made a nice difference in power delivery.

Brand new they are circa £900 from Toyota. Given what you could buy for that it doesn't really appeal.

well i might have 1 its a ct9B thats good then its just a straight swap.

as for the new 1, yee u were right 900 i rang up toyota and asked, no way would pay that thow

ill have to see what garage says aswell about it been the turbo or the head, its really hurting my head lol becouse heard lots of different things about this case. when i did a oil change as well the oil looked browny/blacky so was no sign of water in there as it wasnt a whitey colour.

i had a look on ebay and seen that, hmm does anybody kno if thatll fit? what is it as well A or B

[iamlegend]

im still stuck on what i would need IF i decided to get a hybird turbo etc would be costly i imagine

exhaust manifold

what else?

[iamlegend]

its defo the turbo gone in my car, so have bought a new 1 ct9b

is it easy to fit?

Piece of piss if you have a socket and spanner set, some coolant, new gaskets and a bit of patience as the nuts at the back of the turbo are a bastard to get at!! There is a guide somewhere i believe.

Basicly rad drain the rad, remove top mount/up pipe for front mount, remove rad, remove cat/decat+heat shields if you have em then all thats left is the turbo so oil and coolant lines off and turbo-mani nuts. Refit is just reverse of above. Will take a few hours first time as nuts will be solidly seized in place normally. Penetrating fluid the night before will help as will a breaker bar.
