modified my rear ARB to stop it rubbing my shocks. also fitted the new shocks and springs.
Got a brand new turbo for the 16valve engine.
I found it on ebay local. the guy said its from a rover but unknown car.
it is a GT15 and for £50 couldnt complain.
After i picked it up I noticed something strange.
The waste gate has been changed and WG mount milled off and a new one welded on.
the waste gate port is machined out. the turbine is strange and large!
then I noticed the compressor and turbine housing both have numbers hand ground into them so i took it apart to get a better look and found the compressor is also larger then normal and the back plate is machined from billet and had the same numbers as ground outside written in permanent marker inside.
looks like a serious hybrid!
ill get pics up later
cant find any details on these numbers online. turbo looks like it could be good but have no idea what its from. dont want to machine and weld flanges onto the turbo manifold because if I ever need to replace the turbo id be stuck not knowing what its from.
