Turbo Trouble

[JK89]

Sounds like your wheels has contacted the front cover. which is not good! There are mta cores going for $1100 retail. that's with a silicon nitrade bearing system. Garaunteed oil flow and faster spool rate. Unfortunatly the garrett oil feeds do not match up 100% to the oil grooves on the bearing back which causes oil starvation to the bearing pack.

Try and stay away from ebay, you get what you pay for. And for a unit that spins at 100 000+ rpm you want a reliable unit. If your compressor wheel is sulvagable then you can put a new bearing pack in for around the 700-800 mark.

call mark at mr turbo. had no problems from there and run a MTA core. 07 5596 1079

hope this helps

Hi guys I recently bought a BA XRT and it seems the turbo is playing up. I am completely new to turbos so don't know a lot. When I drive normally it works fine but when you really put your foot down it starts shaking and shuddering and losing power. Any ideas what this will be caused by. I've booked it in to be checked over this week. There is also oil seeping underneath and part of the exhaust is a bit loose. I think I've bought a big repair job.

Or could this be caused by not using the correct octane rated fuel. The problem's only there under heavy acceleration and it gets worse as the engine heats up.

Could be your catalytic converter and or coil packs mate.

To answer my own question, I was new to turbos and was using standard unleaded. What a difference with 98 in it. All nice and smooth now.
