Impeller was dark (nearly black - I suspected your fuel smoke was at fault), but hasn't touched the front cover yet. Vertical clearance is still only afew thou. Thats not to say the turbine isn't rubbing & causing the squealing on full throttle!

You been around that long Stag250, 2007? I thought Cam's was the first to blow.

What ended up happening mate?

Still going strong at 240,000 kms mark. Just did oil change yesterday. Rocker cover gaskets leak some oil and not sure at this stage if I want to fix that and replace plugs at same time as plugs (original since I bought it bar one) seem still to be ok. Still on original shocks too. These cars are built well that's for sure. Changed front rotors a few months ago. Not sure what I'd buy next but think it will be a diesel for my high mileage p.a. Has to be suv type vehicle too as I'm sick of bottoming out.

Lucky you. Mine are all leaking and shit...and its only done "95,000km"...

Hmmm, lets see;

1; Small ceramic wheeled turbo pushing 12-14psi in a 1700kg car; Check.

2; Hugely restrictive factory dump pipe, and 2 catalytic converters to further restrict the exhaust and overheat aforementioned ceramic exhaust wheel; Check.

3; BB core that is susceptible to damage through questionable servicing, and extreme heat (see point 2); Check.

Result; 001ox.jpg

Yeah; it's not rocket surgery, people aren't "Flogging" them as such (not really sure how you could possibly give it a harder time anyway; it spins at 100,000+ rpm, and is subjected to repeated heat cycling up to 800ish deg) but they do a lot of work.

Got the car with 70K......easy driving mostly freeway and the turbo goes at 80K........Rebuilt with a Garret BB core....the new turbo has done 140K with varies levels of boost/motors(my fault) and various setups topping out at 30PSI for a small time with no issue.

You figure it out.

On a further note....one of my mates has a brand new 2011 GTI with only 40K on it:

DSG Gearbox replacement

Front and rear diff replacement

Front rotors gone already....wtf!

Turbo!!!! on standard boost......goooonnnnneeee!

and.......wait for it......a petrol motor that sound like a diesel.......new motor time!

Lucky VW is paying the bill's atm.

Then there's my Dad's V10 Towrag........turbos are still good....but the list of replacements parts after a manufacturing fault with the fuel rail was huge at 110km's

Lolz....without trying to stir up any VW owners! :P

Yep, mums husband has a 307Hdi; and when it came back from it's 100,000km service, it had a new turbo.

Me; "Why did they replace that?" Him; "I dunno, they said there was nothing wrong with the old one" Me; "Riiiiiight"

No mention of it on the service documents, just popped in a new one for no reason...

Yes and don't ask the VW warranty guys about the Twincharger engines either... Good reason Nissan stopped playing with those back with the K10 Micra in 1988... :whistling:

And I know plenty of people in the UK who have had new turbos and other engine parts replaced with the VW group diesels as well...

i like the look of the xc70 2012 model though. I took one for a test drive and was surprised at its performance and roadholding vs my stag.

Throw 40K at yours to bring it up to matching price and I'd think you would find a big difference.....you cannot compare a 2002 model car with a 2012 model car.

:ph34r: I like the new Volvo's too!!!

I did't know that I would have to build a 10 second car to beet a 2012 model Volvo! Why would I buy from Japan when everything can be done locally or from the US?

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?

      Sorry, I wasn't very clear.....just that the standard injectors are apparently good over 600rwhp/450rwkw which you won't get to on standard turbos anyway.....they are much better sized from factory than we are used to in RBs.
