fubared?
i recently bought a T2 for $400; now dubbed "the $400 headache" i knew there was an exhaust leak somewhere on the turbo. i found the leak, the manifold to turob gasket was broken and only 3 of the 4 studs were in said manifold, plus each nut could be turned by hand. the manifold is fubar, i know that for sure. there are tons of large cracks running all though it.
my question is about the turbo. i tried putting white paint in the cracks to make them more visable. it didn't really work but it does make them easier to see. i need some opinions on this. this is my first turbo car so i have no real knowledge. http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...urboflange.jpg http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...dez/turbo3.jpg http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...dez/turbo2.jpg http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n...dez/turbo1.jpg just want to know if this is still usable. |
that turbo looks pretty hammered, personally i think you should try and find one in better condition. i have never seen a crack run the full length of the runner, i can just imagine how bad the cracks are in the turbine housing..

damn, talk about heat. that is scrap metal.

i may have one... or 3.. but i will check when i get home to see if any are in really good shape/... pm me if your interested
|
hmm. so its pretty well tost then?
the crazy thing is there is minimal play in the bearings. so what is an effective replacement turbo for the T2? (yes i will search for this as well) |
well you dont have to replace the whole turbo.. all you have to replace is the turbine housing. there is about 6 or 8 bolts that hold it on. you unbolt it pop it off than you can install a different one.
