Been buging me for fuking ages trying to find this. Waste Gate on exhaust housing was siezed to fuck!!!!

Managed to free off with wd40 and some grips and now boost to a normal limit.

But... how easy are the waste gates supposed to be when moving (assuming actuators not on), I cant move it by hand but can easily with a pair of grips.. That ok or new turbo time?

 

Should move very easy by hand.

Steve.

 

yes,very easy,no jamming etc...

 

That answers that question

Is it easy to remove exhaust manifold with head on? never tried...

 

On a 2wd its piece of piss, dont even need to use more than 1 spanner, dont even need to get under the car.

Didnt think it was that hard on 4wd either, just harder to remove turbo on 4wd.

 

Nice one cheers.

Got a T3 for sale

 

you can just change teh exhaust housing mate instead of getting a complete new turbo

 

Ah nice one, didnt know that! Cheers

Thats good as the rest of my T3 is in top condition!
