BOB B Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Are the stock turbos interchangable? by that I meen can I put a number two turbo in, inplace of number one? The reason I ask is my number one is making some noises, I think it is coming to the end of its time, have a spare set of turbos, I was thinking that the 2nd turbo does not get as much wear as the first and may be I could swop the spare second turbo for the first on the car. Any help or advice on the subject would be greatly appreciated. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckler Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 no, as number 2 has an internal wastegate, whereas number 1 has no wastegate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB B Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Ok, thanks, damb! looks like a Yorkshireman might have to spend some money for a re-furb soon. Thanks. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Does it make a difference that his turbos are UK spec. What noise are you getting mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB B Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hi Dan, I get a small howl now and again, but every time I put number one under a good load it seems to make a rattly tickie sound, sort of, hard to explain realy, has to be heard. I want to do exactly the same as you are doing, but I do not have the funds, how's that going by the way? Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
