SaqTRD Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hi guys, As some of you may know, i'm in the process of getting my turbos rebuild by Whifbitz. However, i took off the turbos to examine the damage and it seems that first turbo's exhaust housing the famous hairline crack in it. Now i dont really want to put it back on like that as i'm getting new turbo cartridges fitted. My question is, where can I get one of these housing and does the second turbos housing fit the 1st? Does anyone have a housing laying about that they would be willing to sell? Saq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 1st and 2nd housing are different and not interchangeable. Toyota do not sell the housings separately. Your options are: 1. Get them welded - they will likely crack again due to the heat cycles they go through. 2. Find a housing that isn't cracked - difficult because the vast majority I've seen are cracked. 3. Fit them as they are - it will not effect performance. 4. Buy new turbos from Toyota - expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 This is the difference in the exhaust housings. OK, these are VVTi ones, but normal J-Spec ones have the same different dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
