I am not posting pics here as the upload function only does 5 at a time and it takes ages, theres a lot of pics
when I got this car, the turbo was whiney, I got 10,000 miles out of it like that before the bearing finally gave up and it became a screech! that was in around august last year [2020]
at the time, I just needed another replacement to go straight on, so I bought used with the view that I would rebuild my original with a new core [subject to the housings being ok]
the used turbo i bought is passing oil though its bearings, that too has probably done 100k!
so over winter I stripped down my old unit, housings were good, as was the control actuator, all I needed to do was buy a new CHRA [centre part of turbo]
I finally got that sorted last week, I rebuilt the turbo today, I still have the oil drain pipe to fit but I have bought a slightly different one which I am waiting for.
anyway the pics, all with text descriptions are on my facebook page, its a public album so you dont need to have facey to view it
its here if you want a look: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10219911087473238&type=3
overall, easy to do. I will be fitting it back to the car in the next couple of weeks.
