Darren Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Usually when the turbos gone you get an awful lot of oil smoke so hopefully you will be ok............When my turbos went it was obvious...instant NA with loads of smoke!!!!!!!!

piehound Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 the problem was i bought the car only running on 1 tubby so i dont knoiw what happened although i tend to think it didnt go bang as the car aint been driven hard and has been fully serviced up till 4k ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 It'll be a hose, VSV or actuator or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 It'll be a hose, VSV or actuator or something like that. Deffo. A shot number 2 would make noises too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piehound Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 vsv is ok i checked resistance etc and i didnt see any hoses off nor did chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Thet older they get the more problems seem to be surfacing regarding the second turbo kicking in.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I blew #2 on mine, its doesn't make any noise when you try and boost it, it just doesn't boost! There are no impeller blades to spin, so what noise is it going to make!? I could sort of use #1, but the wastegate was wedged open slightly so would hardly make any boost. It was all sorted with a nice set of hybirds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piehound Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 boosts fine on 1 well ill know tomorow i guess if its the tubby ill scrap it lol (well sell it cheap )it aint getting any of my money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkey Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 what the chances are of this being shot ? Hope for a Hose or a VSV somewhere I blew #2 on mine It was all sorted with a nice set of hybirds! A nice single will sort it out better ..

garetheves Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 My second turbo wasnt coming online this time last year so took it to chris. Turned out to be a blown MAP sensor, so he plonked a new one in and is now fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 If it is blown then it will be expensive as you'd really want to replace the pair together whilst you're at it as the other probably has a low shelf life too. I may be interested in it "as is" for a project car depending upon sensible price. Let me know how it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Well, I can't find any hoses off, o split, and the solenoids appear to be doing as they should. next step is fasten the actuators mechanically open and see if the 2nd turbo does its bit. If not it needs a strip down to see what's happened to the second turbo, at which stage unless it's changed it's a bit of a waste of time and the customers money.... One turbo could be changed, but as you say Pete, it would be very risky indeed, given the labour to change 2 is hardly any different, and there being a real riskof the front one going pop soon. It may be tomorrow before a definitive answer is forthcoming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I have 2 sets of sotck turbos sitting on the shelf. One set off my write off that have been bagged up for about a year and a half. Another set I took off just a couple of months ago when I switched to hybrids. If you need a set just let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 real shame it's dead! I would have put money on a vsv/hose, well at least it's gonna get sorted though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
