Turbo Again?!?!

[MRDOSE]

recently got my turbo back from GCG after destroyin the bearings on it, been drivin round with the new one for a while now, cant afford a tune so been drivin of boost obviously, but last night after a fairly long drive I noticed I light scraping noise comin from my turbo which is amplified by my air intake so I no its the turbo and today on the way to work the same thing, but its not on start up, not on idle, just occasionally when accelerating.. is it fukd again?

These things spin pretty fast I dont think they would make a scraping noise.

Maybe its the volume of air rushing through your CAI that makes that sound. Mine does the same thing and has for sometime and it was just tuned and achieved the power in my sig.

Did you clean out or replace the oil supply line filter when you replaced the turbo?

If its blocked with crap, then there's a good chance it stuffed your last turbo, and this one too! They dont last too long without oil supply!

Yeah mate, I'd definately be sussing that out, or put it back on stock tune if you haven't already

[xr6 typhoon]

sounds like an oil supply issue

[MRDOSE]

yeah it was cleaned out but I would not be suprised if its blocked again, im gunna have to buy one of ETMs braided lines as soon as soon as possible... will not be happy if its shot again... the ford will be gone haha

Hi mate,just replaced a turbo on a customers car last week for the same reason{farked bearings}. When checking all the supply lines and the filter found filter not too bad but the actual oil supply line was blocked solid. Had it in the acid bath over night but was still blocked. Even the oil drain pipe was half blocked. Looked like was due to lack of oil changes and would of happened again if didnt check before fitting new turbo. Have a feel of your turbine shaft for excessive movement.

I just replaced the thing, hopefully it has a warrenty, then its out the window iv had enough hahaha

Geez mate that's soo unlucky I feel for you.

I once had the problem with the turbo and ford bailed on the warranty but either way when we did the job checked the filter and the feed and return and both were clean as a whistle.

Ive seen soo many garrett turbos fail moreso on the falcons then anything else though.

You would have thought with the new turbo being built by gcg there woulkdnt have been any issues though.

anyways I wish you all the best with it mate.
