think my turbos on the way out.....

[scoobaru]

Turnd the car on after fitting the nur spec then took out for a small drive.

On returning I heard a low grinding noise. Stuck my ear around the engine and it was directly on the turbo.

Left it for a few hours, went out and the noise had gone??????

Today it had returned but not as bad. Is there anyone who is experienced can confirm my assumptions before I begin saving for a new turbo followed by a ecu remap etc.........

Or has anyone managed to rebuild their own turbo to extend the life of it?????

any ideas, help welcome.........

Stick a metal bar or long screwdriver on the exhaust side and listen on the other end. If you can hear a rotary grinding then it's catching on the housing.
That's how we diagnosed Robs.

Got vf43 on my bugeye, bit leggy but probably more down to RCM manifold and up pipe. Does give you a kick in the back though when kicks in and I really like it. Easy to drive off boost if you want economy as well.

i will admit my vf43 is well laggy, but like said you can drive it just like a normal sport if your not up in the rev range, but the boost is immense its hard not to

[scoobaru]

Ok. That's ok for me really.
When does full boost come in?
