Anthonyric Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Hi guys I have recently purchased a recon trubo. Reason smoking exhaust... The ref No matched exactly on the turbo housing. On having fitted the turbo by a machanic he found that the bottom connecting I believe Oli return pipe fitting was not exactly the same. On the orinanal one the tube has a alan key 11mm I believe fitting ( not sure if this would be a screw fitting or a pressed in connection hense the alan key ?) The New re con turbo Had a flat flange where a fitting connects by the means of two 10mm bolts this was connected allowing the rubber tube to be connected. The waste gate valve/ Diafram was also changed as the re com arrived with the plastic pipe from the waste valve broken so the waste gate was changed over by the machanic. The turbo has been now been fitted but wers/ wistles as turbs sometimes do. The old turbo did not make this noise? I have also changed the rubber pipe which connects from the turbo housing via a rubber pipe perhsaps 50mm diamiter which has a smaller rubber pipe of apprx 25mm. But Im still hearing the same whistling noise. Im obviously awear that a faulty turbo can damage an engine so im looking for some expert advise if. i can return the turbo as it was purchased with a warranty the trouble is I live in spain A brand new turbo costs out @ €1300 + and then slap on the 21% iva. Would appriciate any feed back Many thanks for taking time to view this post Regards Anthony Quote
qman3428 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 If you go on to ebay they sell a turbo repair cartridge, your mechanic can keep all the external parts and just replace the internals. It is a lot cheaper than a new turbo and gives "as new" results Quote
