Technical Urgent after a turbo for 20 vt coupe

[alfacoupe]

Hi my car is currently in the garage about to have the engine changed.
after having to purchase a engine and put money aside for the labour my funds are low
the oil seals in my turbo are gone but there is no play in the shaft at all or movement.
i am after a working turbo asap for a fair price could even give mine in exchange if you can repair it or get it done cheap.
would preff like you to be within 100 miles of sm4 morden as i need to collect asap.
Thanks in advance

Have a look in there or place a wanted ad

If your really desperate FCCUK.org (Google it) will be your best bet.

went down to brentwood turbodevelopments got an exchange turbo with a 360 thrust bearing refurbed £360. 12,000 mile warranty or a year.
will do for now
thanks anyways mate

Glad you got sorted!.

360 degree bearing FTW means you can decat it?

 

[alfacoupe]

safe to decat for definite ?
they said it wouldnt void my warranty but i still want it to last lol not be replaced

Yeah that's the whole idea of the 360 degree bearing. It stays sealed even after the loss of back pressure from a cat converter .

Nice one cheers chris will get it done weekend.
Will i notice any difference before mapping ?

Turbo should spool quicker. But no nothing major until you get it remapped .
