Sold the volans and sent the turbo off for a rebuild.

Previous owner told me it had a 19t but unfortunately it appears it has a 16t. Not really something you can check on the car.

Anyway, hoping to upgrade some parts when it’s rebuilt so it should be better than it was.

Turbo has been sent off to some random guy who is rebuilding it for me.

He seems to know what he’s talking about and has good feedback from other folk so hopefully it should be alright.

Either that or I’ll be updating in a few weeks saying I’ve been ripped off.

Got the turbo back but the gap doesn’t look good. I have tried to speak to the turbo builder who is now throwing a deaf un.

Doh.

Ummmm that's not good.

Do you think the turbo had maybe been modified before and not standard as you thought? But then sure the builder wouldnt just send it back like that..

Can't make it out too well on the photo, is the gap just at the front, on the entire length to the back of the compressor housing?
Did you have a picture, before? what did you ask him to do/wrong with it?

Comp cover previously been machined to accept a larger compressor wheel?

Yeah, I think it’s been machined for a 19t but is a 16t housing if that makes sense. The guy has now been in touch and says he measured it all and it’s all correct etc etc.

send it!

I'll give you £800 for the car today. Cash.

You're miles away so it'll cost me a bit in fuel, unless you can meet me half way?
Then I'll give you £850. Cash monies.

It gets better, went to measure to get the correct size the wheel should be and it appears that the shaft is bent.

Buy cheap buy twice.

Even though this wasn’t that cheap.

Thats tempting with how I’ve been feeling over the last couple of days. We’ll get there I’m sure.

After 6 weeks the turbo ‘builder’ has agreed to give me a partial refund after stating that I had damaged the turbo when taking it apart. I didn’t take it apart but I’m past caring so I’m taking what I can get and running to the hills.

What’s left of the turbo should be back with me next week.

Lesson - don’t use f**king Facebook numptys for rebuilds.
