SilverSoop Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 My Turbo's have gone too matey... If I was you, you can either buy a brand new set of tubbies costing around £1k each OR you can buy a 2nd hand set of Turbo's off of a member on here, make sure that they are good though... Or you could go single maybe?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonT Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 There is a possibility that my turbo seals need doing as well Would it be better to get this done before i go BPU as im thinking of buying the rest of the parts i need over the Winter while my car is off the road?!

little num Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 My uk smokes once a month when i use the engine for braking but to be honest i couldnt really give a dam about smoke, there is no point in spending money unless its broke alltogether imo. Just keep driving it until it blows up, go BPU and stop worrying lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought if the seals go, the Turbo has to go as well?? Can the seals be fixed then??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 You went NA-TT right? Defiantly not doing that conversion now, too many 'expensive' threads are popping up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can the seals be fixed then??? yea you can have the turbos rebulit i got a quote from turbo technics 595.00 per turbo (j-spec) the internals will be replace with steel no ceramic. that price is only the rebuild you still need to remove nad re fit the turbos yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a rebuild, there is a risk of them going again though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multics Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 With a rebuild, there is a risk of them going again though... You also have that risk when you buy second hand though... Good luck fella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
