Wasnt expecting to find this...
« on: 25 March 2013, 19:11 »
Well currently changing my turbo for a recon unit, as It has suspect blown oil seals and I also have a badger 5 ported manifold to fit.

Taking my old unit off I was greeted with this  :shocked:





Money shot  :cool:


What on earth would of caused for the fins to break up/ bend? :undecided:

a bit of crap must have made its way past the filter, or it was a bit of the filter itself. I've seen way worse than that and they only made a slight whistle. Not like the 2.0TDI turbos you only need to look at those the wrong way and they make noises like a police siren!

And to think I had the turbo with damaged turbine off less than 6 months ago fitting the forge actuator and was in immaculate condition   :huh:

Surprised the car was still running smoothly & quietly at how bads the turbine was  :whistle:

Being located at the back of the engine bay is the turbo a mother and father to get off?
