paul w Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Not long had my freshly built hybrid turbo back on the car and it was smoking like mad after a few days.Took it all off again the other day and the actuator hose has been burned through by the heat from the mani,i reckon thats whats buggered it! Any idea what it'll have done,ie overboosted and knackered the seals? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul w Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 Oh piss! The actuator was set at a bar,can't say i noticed how much it was reading on the gauge but it didn't go shooting off the scale as far as i know.The pipe is singed through enough to leak so thats whats happened there then. Time for another new rebuild kit and ask the rebuild guys to build it again then! Cheers jay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 They can smoke alot for a good few hours after being freshly rebuilt.They have to burn the oils off.Dont just go paying for a recon if it might not need it bud..Replace the hose and see how it goes.
