Engine And Turbo Woes

[scotty nm35]

Thanks for the referral, I'll give him a call this week. He didn't mention any findings in the oil. It sounds like he's talked to a few people that have said what MAY happen in a worst case scenario. Surely if you replace the oil line, flush everything out again, remove whatever bits from the old turbo that are laying around the piping, and prime the new turbo properly, you shouldn't have any more risk than normal?

I'm in Canberra, probably a bit far for you to come and look!

The stock oil line will be fine, and you don't need to prime the turbo.

The sump will definitely have bits of turbo in it, they all do after the turbine fails. If you are dropping it you will need to check the banjo bolts have been drilled to 2.5mm for bush core turbo replacements, all three banjo bolts.

Cool. Well I think I'll probably go ahead with getting my mates to do it at my place, thanks for the info Scotty!
