nutnut Posted March 17, 2010 Author Posted March 17, 2010 I got the car in october The previous owner said that the oil had only just brrn changed Dont think so as the oil filter was so full of shit Got all new stuff going on Might as well fit my sandwitch plate so i can finaly get my oil pressure gaugr to work.This will need a slight chop to avoid the power steering bracket.Will also be giving the engine bay a good clean while its all in bits.Finally getting the air con off the car ( didn't work anyway)Got the smaller belt from TMD Doing the timing belt as well Cars getting a good well deserved service.

nastyrash 2003 Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Why do people insist on giving crap advice? There are numerous reasons that this may be occouring before you suggest something like that.Hopefully it's something simple mate, have you got a FMIC? I have thought my piping was all fine sometimes and it had popped out ever so slightly which was causing a similar scenario.dildo your avator iz sexy girl. i like. helps me keep fit. Quote
nutnut Posted March 17, 2010 Author Posted March 17, 2010 Boost is backCar is all back together.Nice new oil & antifreezeThink it was just bad oil Good job i didn't drive it when the boost went, Could of kill the turbo ompletly.Thanks guys for all the advice. Quote
nutnut Posted March 17, 2010 Author Posted March 17, 2010 Took a whileBut at least i now know how to do future work on the engine.Now the air con has gone i now have a big space to relocate the air filter.Is it a 40mm elbow that i will need to connect to the turbo ? Quote
micky boy Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 Yeah mate its 38mm but 40mm will be fine. Quote
Russleh Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 good news mate. its good to see things like this fixed with a simple solution Quote
keirz Posted March 17, 2010 Posted March 17, 2010 just keep a very close eye on it mate, hopfully there is no bearing and shaft damage.the problem is the internal oil feeds in the housing and bearings are very small and easily clogged, hopefully running the new oil through and proper maintanance will clear it all out. and its also a point to mention a rebuild now is gonna be so much cheaper now (around 180) compared to a full repair on a dead turbo (450ish) so depending on funds and your level of concern it might be worth looking at Quote
nutnut Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 It was the advice from all you guys that helped me get it fixed.just keep a very close eye on it mate, hopfully there is no bearing and shaft damage.the problem is the internal oil feeds in the housing and bearings are very small and easily clogged, hopefully running the new oil through and proper maintanance will clear it all out. and its also a point to mention a rebuild now is gonna be so much cheaper now (around 180) compared to a full repair on a dead turbo (450ish) so depending on funds and your level of concern it might be worth looking atI also noticed that the wastegate has two small cracks inside I will be taking it easy for a while & keeping an eye out for any leaks (not at the moment)I will be saving my cash for a TD04 setup.Whats the average cost if i go TD04 ? Quote
keirz Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 dont worry about the small cracks, they will make bugger all difference mate, only really bad cracks will have an effect. Quote
nutnut Posted March 20, 2010 Author Posted March 20, 2010 Turbo gone again.Cant work it out !!Could this be actuator problem ? Quote
micky boy Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 If you are short of funds at the min your best bet would be to buy another stock actuator and see if it still dose the same to try and narrow things down abit then when you have the cash treat your self to a HKS one Quote
nutnut Posted March 20, 2010 Author Posted March 20, 2010 Will try that first.If i can find one !! Quote
micky boy Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 I have one its i abit weak like they all are realy lol if you cover the postage mate you can have it to try. Quote
nutnut Posted March 20, 2010 Author Posted March 20, 2010 I have one its i abit weak like they all are realy lol if you cover the postage mate you can have it to try.Will £10 cover it micky ? Quote
micky boy Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Sorry for the late reply mate i was just haveing my tea lol.. Cheers for the payment i will send that off for you first thing monday mate Quote
nutnut Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 I replaced the Actuator that Micky Boy sorted But still no boostLooking like the turbo has gone Anyone got one going cheap ? Quote
nutnut Posted March 26, 2010 Author Posted March 26, 2010 I Got another turbo on wednesday Put it on & still no boostBelow are a few pics i took before it got too dark.Can anyone see if i have connected anything wrong. Quote
micky boy Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 From what i can see everything looks fine...Are you sure you dont have any leaks any where? i just dont understand Quote
nutnut Posted March 26, 2010 Author Posted March 26, 2010 All the intercooler pipes are done up tight.When you rev the car you can only just hear the dump valve , so there is some pressure there.I will replace all the vac pipes in the morning as i have some spare.Also when you rev the car & manually open the wastegate with a long screwdriver the turbo will not spool !
