mikey4410 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Puchased a ct9 hybrid kit for £370 quid on the 5th of this month, recieved it within 4 days and had a buggered thread on the ct9 and a stripped out bolt on external wastegate housing, was pretty annoyed and then STILL LEFT THE GUY GOOD FEEDBACK for some reason. Only managed to run the turbo up yesterday properly as I needed a new wideband sensor to check fueling. Took it out and once warm at idle after 10-15 secs loads and loads of smoke starts pouring outa exhaust.person I bought kit from is adamant the kit was fine when he had it. Its blatent the turbo has failed and I am getting nowere with the seller as hes still adamant the turbos fine dispite me sending the following pics and video. I DID PAY FOR IT PROTECTED VIA PAYPAL AND HAVE OPENED A CASE. HERES THE PICTURES AND VIDS. PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU THINK THIS TURBO HAS FAILED OR NOT Quote
2333ricky Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Nothing to hide here so filling in the gaps was bought from me. Quote
JayJ Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Did you drive the car after installing the turbo and if yes, is it still smoking? Did you prime the turbo before the first start?Looks like the seal has gone, if it weeps oil out. Quote
mikey4410 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Posted July 25, 2014 Nothing to hide indeed.have had enough of being fobbed off tbh.i am a very reasonable and honest person and the stuff your telling me about the way my own car runs etc is hugely ridiculous. My cars breather system is causing pressure were it shouldnt etc.THE TURBOS SEALS ARE GONE.I did indeed prime turbo before fitting jayj for a good 10secs. Quote
Dean_mc88 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Take it apart mate I got a hybrid off someone on here cant remember who but it was full of oil took it apart cleaned it up and it was perfect Quote
mikey4410 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Posted July 25, 2014 All my exhaust ports are free of oil deposits before anybody asks. Quote
mikey4410 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Posted July 25, 2014 Dean I was told the turbos 199% perfect and not faulty at all.thats what I am getting at.i should be able just to run this fit and forget. Quote
mikey4410 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Posted July 25, 2014 Like I say I just want peoples honest opinions to what they think. Quote
Jamie5414 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 don't take it apart, continue with the dispute and get it sent back, it is not in working order Quote
mikey4410 Posted July 25, 2014 Author Posted July 25, 2014 Well I have asked for just £40 for a rebuild kit so I can fix it up and use it.and I think thats very resonable.but yeah normally anybody would do that jamie5414.I just want it running and working.its not much to ask. Quote
Dean_mc88 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I say buying a rebuild kit is reasonable as it was sold as good working order Quote
5e colin Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 deffo oil seal gone stay away from them rebuild kits mate there just crap get it rebuild by a turbo re-builder then you have warranty and it will be balanced to just my 2p Quote
mikey4410 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Thanks for your input colinmuch appreciated Edited July 26, 2014 by mikey4410 Quote
turbominicooper Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 All my exhaust ports are free of oil deposits before anybody asks. in that case its got to b the turbo Quote
white-gt Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 if its described as perfect when bought and its anything but what you were told then i would send it back for £100 refund and source from somewhere else.. no point going thru the hassle of trying to rebuild your self with cheap rebuild kits and be in the same situation a month down the line , or have to fork out for it to be done proper..Not worth the hassle unless you get a good refund back to cover costs etc.. i run a speedvision gen2 hybrid at 1.1 bar most of the time and its been faultless but my gen1 shat its self 2 times after rebuilds so gave up on it.

mikey4410 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 Heres the shaft out of the hybrid ricky sold me. Quote
jayc-glanza17 Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 oil seal failure.. common on ct9 hybrids mikey.. personally PM Liam-d get him to rebuild it for you.. hes done my td05 and was a good service wit a years warranty and they pick it up ad drop it back to you. Quote
5e colin Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 why is there so much damage on the shaft ??? did it run dry before or something ?? Quote
mikey4410 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 Just looked into it and nearly every case of a damaged shaft/scoring is due to using crap/dirty/contaminated oil. Quote
rinseep82 Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Even if the oil was crap I don't think it would score the shaft like that it looks like it's had some starvation Quote
