Standard or A/M???

if it's standard, i'd be buying another secondhand one... or an A/M one..

But if u want to fix it, u probably could... but it looks like a bit of work and if it goes through to the face, it'll need to be machined when finished... so it would be cheaper to get another just from the machining cost...

also where it is you wouldn't be able to bolt it down properly and it could warp...

Hope it helps...

Theres no crack on the face of the flange or the inside of the turbine housing. Just the crack around the outside

Got it from Greeenline, don't like my chances of taking it back because its probably my fault.

I'm am not answering the question you told me not to answer.

a turbo should not crack like that just from doing it up, no matter how tight you do it.

if you were going to get it welded up it will probably have to be done by someone in the know, as i'm pretty sure the turbine housing will have to be ground out where the crack is, then heated slowly up over 200 degrees c, welded then cooled down slowly to prevent it from cracking again right next to where it is welded. special cast welding rods will have to be used also.

thats no good! what ex housing size is it? should be under warranty. id send greenline a picture..

0.68, Internal

I'll see what Greenline have to say about the warranty, otherwise I'm off to the turbo repairer.

Seeing as its not craked right through, it could be braise welded with success, I have braised vices that have cracked and they work fine. You would still have to preheat and most important post cooldown in a heat blanket.

^^^ yes, wouldnt hurt to get the manifold machined. If i were you send GCG a email or give them a call, explain your situation. they would have the gear/know how and have the correct gear to machine it

I've got to send the turbo to HKS and see what they say. They want to see if I dropped the turbo or over tighten the nuts. Don't know how they could prove/disprove either.

I'm not exaclty the worlds stongest man, hell I'm not even fat, skinny as stick, so I doubt I over tightened the nuts. I definatley did not drop the turbo.

Greenline have been good, but they're only the middle man.

WISH ME LUCK

    • You're retired Mark, on bin night, go for a walk, kind of like you're doing the beep test. Put one rock in the first neighbours, come back, get another rock, go to the second neighbours, repeat over many weeks. All rocks eventually gone...
    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 馃槩, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
    • If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be? 
    • Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!
    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 馃
