Other than the Small part missing from one of the fins, the compressor wheel is fine, and the secondary fins are perfect.

I was also wondering, if there was a specific in and out for the coolent on the turbo..

I know the small opening for the oil is in, and the large is the out, but does it matter for the coolent too?

 

Oil always goes in the top and out the bottom, coolant goes in the low side port and out the high side port

 

may only concern is "learn how to post pics to thread, instead of links"...LOL just playing mang

you got nice little build going on...congrats

what is your time frame to get it on or are you going to wait until spring cuz of winter up in Canada

edit...

was looking at Matt's location when i was typing my reply...still what is your timeable....LOL

 

^^ Yah I live in Florida. LOL

Time frame is within the next couple of weeks..

SO what side on the turbo is the low side for the coolant and what side is the high side...

The ports are directly across from each other..




What other things may I have over looked, for the kit.

 

It doesn't matter where there water IN is or where the OUT is, as long as your using the side ports.

 

Finally, Thank you for noobing it down for me.

 

yeah it really does not matter because both of them are the same banjo thread size....

 

IMHO that turbo is junk and not worth running. Keep in mind some turbos run upwards of 160,000 RPM and are finely balanced from the factory. That little fudge on one of the fins may not look like much, but imagine it at 160k rpm? It cause major turbulence and instability. Not too mention a horrible whistle sound. I wouldn't want a turbo like that grenading little aluminum pieces into my intake. wink1.gif

 

Yah sorry for not updating this, Got everything in the car and running.

I am using one of radu's maps on the Aem Fic that I adjusted and added more fuel.

Car runs great except for the turbo, We have concluded that the turbo seals are blown, and I have already purchased a new turbo from Socks.

I purchased one of his knock off chinese turbos, Ive seen pictures and they look very well built.
Even in comparison with a rebuilt garrett the knock- off looks nicer and better.

I know alot of people are not big on the knock off turbo idea, but I have faith it will do just fine for my applications.
Besides anything is better than the smoking mess I have right now.

I am very greatfull for everything SOCKS has helped me, and him going out of his way to help me get my car running.


Should get the new turbo sometime next week, ill keep you updated.
