If the turbo's need to be rebuild (and I think it does) I am just going to get a GT35, I was going to up grade anyway.

Edit. What would cause the turbo to fail like this. Was 15 PSI to much for it?. I didnt beat on it at all I never drove it becase I was working on the Fuiel issues I was having (I fixed that). I wonder if the car is cursed?

 

peter,

can you take a pic of the IM area for us? im just curious on how is the PCV valve and the breather is ran and if you have a catch can?

somehow, i dont think your turbo needs to be rebuilded man... it could be something simple, ma

also, your car doesnt have a cuda kit so, it's not cursed laugh.gif joke.gif




wow, nate... i didn't realize you already had your turbo rebuilded? when? what happened?

 

i got the whole thing apart now. Clean out the oil =(. You just want a oic of engin bay with turbo in there? What what am I looking for on the turbo to tell if it is bad?

 

I got some pics here.

This one shows the goldish seal and I has alot of play in it back and forth and it will move up a bit. Is that normal or would it account for the oil leaking out.


Heres the other side.


Is this turbo gone or is it fix able??

 

That goldish thing is not a seal, its a sheild.

It's suppose to move around once you take the hot side off. The seal is internally, you have to take apart the turbo.

To me that turbo looks like you can rebuild it no problem. I would go that route. If your uncertain and do not want to take the chance of doing this yourself, find a turbo shop and have them rebuild it for you. It's no big deal.

 

I am tring to get it apart and I cant seem to get it apart. I was looking for rebuild kits and a compnay told me that you cant rebuild BB turbos. Is that true??

Ok I have been read online that what it is telling me is that you can not rebuild them. or they cost about as much as new. So it looks like new turbo for me.
