Tangles Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 how the hell did you manage to crack that banjo fitting? lol I have no idea - was tight tight so maybe a pothole? was all fine until trying to reach boost up expressway hill friday night, couldnt hold 0 psi without the car surging, turbo working on load and black oily smoke so its split, oil is blowing thru the split onto the outside of the turbo (the leak i found) and forcing some excessive oil thru the exhaust turbine so it ends up that the slide turbo is ok, but Ive ordered a new line set and a gt30 went over the intercooler pipes and they are 100% perfect, good tight seals and wont leak on 1bar Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/266025-pffft-and-there-goes-my-turbo/page/3/#findComment-4551291 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangles Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 MASSIVE THANK YOU goes out to Adam (chef stagea) and Chris (kidafa) for offering to come over and help finish up. Id arranged an mobile auto bloke to come out tomorrow for an hour or so, but Adam rang me and said he'd help out ! so I knuckled back down and got the turbo oil line on, did the manifold bolts up, got the block oil lead on tight and had a 15' C-spanner cut ready to access the turbo oil feed to tighten it up when the lads arrived. quick iced coffee / woodstock & a chat and they got into it, wasnt much to be done and an hour later most was all good dead battery and time constraints for the lads meant we couldnt start her up. will tick the engine over in an hours time. check for oil/water and thats that tune time, unless it needs some tightening or reworking, etc so, cheers for Adam and Chris for their help. greatly appreciated. No knees means my hips and back take the load, and they're rooted atm. big thankyou guys Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/266025-pffft-and-there-goes-my-turbo/page/3/#findComment-4580349 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidafa Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Good to here Brendan. Did the intake pipe mod yesterday arvo. Think it made the induction noise less which is weird thought it would be louder with a metal pipe in the intake but its good less attention Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/266025-pffft-and-there-goes-my-turbo/page/3/#findComment-4585834 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangles Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 the turbo is pretty insane 2500rpm and its wanting to get into positive boost, 3000rpm and 10psi is up 3500rpm and 16psi is up wow set up the ebc for 13psi and 16psi just want to be safe with the safc/sitc/remap and so far so good. running really well and pulls significantly harder than what Id imagined it would.
