ollie ryan Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 right thought i would do a overdue updatefirst thing, changed the bonnet pins on the bonnet, i will be going aerocatchs soon but cant be bothered at the momentold and new pinsone bonnet pin wouldnt line up right tho so have a small hole in the bonnet but not fussed at the momentnext thing was to give it a clean as it was filthy!it came up nicelyi also recieved some 25mm hubcentric spacers from the states, should go nicely with the cruise wingsthey are fat! lolalso recieved some powdercoated front wishbones from cazzac22, cheers mate and also just recieved my cruise weather shield to stop the engine getting wet, massive thanks to idrees for the quick delivery now onto the not so good news, shorty and turbo grant took my turbo off to find its not exactly in the best condition, oil seals are well dead, shaft has snapped and the blades wernt sitting in the right place can just see in this picture that there is a larger gap on the left hand side, apparently the shaft was looseso im now in two minds, either rebuild this turbo costing around £400 or talking to someone at the moment about a near enough brand new blitz k24 turbo so it can handle more boost also the manifold face is slighly warped so that will be getting skimmedi have to say a huge thanks to shorty and turbo grant, i havnt stopped texting them for about the last month and they are always replying instantlytrue legends!!now just cant wait to have her fixed and back on my driveway hopefully with a meaty as blitz turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

N80Jamie Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Turbo looks awesome mate! What sort of turbo are these similar to, as in spool times etc? Looks TD04 sort of size. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet__SR Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Glad to see the cars got another chance! Lovely turbo lol, too clean to fit to a car lolD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Jamie, they are indeed simlar to td04 in both size and the way it reacts. This should be a beast when shes boosting on the blitz Ollie, your mani is off to have the faces skimmed monday mate so as soon as the turbo turns up me and grant will check it over then fit the kit all back up, gun the timing in and tidy the vac lines up, then she should be good to go and you can have her back till your ready to do the next few bits we have discussed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 as shorty said it is pretty much the same as td04 but me being me wanted to be different and shorty your a legend!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
