having problems with the turbo on my r33 gts-t, pretty sure its blown, was expecting it soon anyway as i heard after 100,000km its recommended to replace it and it hasnt been replaced and its at 110,000km

anyways to the point, im just interested to know if anyone knows of any good workshops who specialise in turbos in the dandenong and surrounding area

did a search, didnt find much

Hi.

Have a look here, its in the sticky thread in this section.

Gives you a list of good places to go in Vic.

Although its not "reccomended" to replace the turbo at all @ 100,000.

Dunno where that came from as the turbo should last probably the life of the motor if correctly treated.

As SXR said, what exactly is the problem?

Oh... and you should become a member of SAU-Vic, discounts at some of the workshops that are listed in the above link

well it just happened last night, havent had a chance to have a proper look yet in the daylight, could be just dirty or have a build up or something, but yeah im not sure, leaning towards blown alltogether

i was just driving along normally, heard a loud squeal/pop, then i lost power/accelleration, barely made it around the corner to my house, and now it basically drives but with no turbo power at all

Yep. Pipes can come loose quite easily if the clamps get loose over time.

yup 100%, doesn't matter what cooler you have.....just check all the hoses and clamps.

If your not sure, my workshop is in Springvale.

yeh, as some-one already mentioned amberely autos, which i believe rob vikery is part owner of. he built TTLSI, the grey monaro makin 455kw at the wheels without opening up the motor, so i'm guessin they know what they're doing
