It won't control boost as before.

No I had MTQ do it

Hi flow

Does the wastegate control boost?

If you have an issue, best take it back to them.

Without knowing the noise i'll give you a couple of scenarios:

A/ If the turbo was you received was not clocked correctly theres a good chance the either the exhaust inlet is not tight or the intake pipe in not aligned prperly causing a leak.

B/ If the turbo is a bush baring have they drilled out the oil feel banjo from the block?

C/ Did they run a flush through the engine first as these cars if not serviced properly can have bad oil feed problems? I gather you did put new oil in?

D/ The turbo has not been built properly so the wheels are rubbing against the housing.

If the waste gate is not working properly it wont make a noise......it will however either generate boost at WOT towards the end of the rev limit or will develop to much boost.

P.S. Regardless......all of the above means the turbo will have to come back off.

Hi flow

Should of had Craig do it tho

They spend over 20man hours an now I need to take it back

[bigkevracer]

What is it doing anyway?

[steve84]

Free spinning turbo. Just as I turn off the car I can still hear the fan of the turbo spinning

Loud clunk noise when coming off boost....

If you can hear the turbo spinning after it's shut down; that's a good thing. Well balanced, good cartridge.

As for the clunk; not so sure. Wastegate snapping shut, bov opening?

Really I thought the free spin ment the berrings were gone...

I have a lot to learn
