I think I killed my turbo. It doesn't look to good. I added an oil reallocator to the car. http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad61/do...1-21_231434.jpg
After 3 days later my old pressure light cut on and I started hearing a scratching sound then boost went to zero. I pulled over right a way and had the car towed home. There was no oil leaks anywhere. I pulled of the air filter and took a picture of the inlet. http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad61/do...1-21_214320.jpg Should I have it rebuilt or should i get CT27 or upgrade? I know if I upgrade I will need a new manifold. http://i922.photobucket.com/albums/ad61/do...1-21_231145.jpg I want to get 300-350 HP if possible if I upgrade. |

I have the new turbo installed!!!
 I had to do the following to get the kit in: - use different bolts on the DP - get a different O2 bung welded in cause original one hits the A/C unit - had to change exhaust pipe to fit the DP - add a spacer between the exhaust manifold and the block cause the turbo was hitting the trans housing - drill the vac line into the turbo for boost controller - change the spring on the WG to 8lbs cause of boost creep issues - weld a fitting on the oil pan return drain which comes from the bottom of the turbo (keep leaking) - use a shorter oil return line cause the one in the kit was too long and it was bending - buy a fitting for the turbo oil feed line - weld reinforcement brace on DP for the WG I thought I could just drop it in and go, but I guess this comes from my different engine (Gen4) and of lack of knowledge of a turbo upgrade. It was easier to do the engine swap that it was to upgrade the little turbo. Plus change the fuel pump and the knock sensor (but that was to clear the codes I got after the install) I'm only at 10lbs of boost until I can tune things.         |
