themodifiedkid Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Right here goes to cut a long story short, i had boost issues which I fixed, lots of boosts leaks etc. The car now boosts lovely. Anyway I did a lot of bodywork and gave it a full respray, so the only thing that let it down was the engine bay. So sprayed up various bits and pieces and decided to spruce up the turbo pipes, so i took them off. As the turbos fins were exposed i gave them a close look and on turbo no1 there are 3 of the fins that have chips in them, i managed to get a camera behind turbo 2 and all fins intact ect. So I have a good strong second hand set, but seeing as the current turbos are functioning well do i ignore the damaged first turbo and bolt all the pipe work back up or do i replace with the second hand set? As im limited for time if I did replace I would probably just replace turbo no1, is it possible to just remove no1 or would they have to come off together. THe reason I ask is that its a pig of a job to get them both out so would it be any easier to just remove the front (No 1) turbo, as I would only be swapping this one anyway even if I got them both off. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themodifiedkid Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 Decided Im gonna leave them for now as they were working well before i even realised about the chipped fins. And fix them when the time comes if they decide to fail. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 HAHAH Epic posting mate. However if they are not causing issues leave them alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
