Bought my 5th Turbo from Turbo Technics (NEW) and it went bang on the Motorway a couple of weeks ago doing about 90mph ... its only been on the car 2 and a bit years JUST OUT OF WARRANTY and the car has done less than 5000 miles in this time... So I dont really know what to do........ Some of you may know of me, I live in Belgium and took my Car to Stu and Kenny in a very sad state, not having run for years after having turbo #4 letting rip on the Severn Bridge chasing a DB7... must have pissed him self laughing when he saw all the smoke...Stu and Kenny did miracles with it... The thread is well worth a read ..( https://passionford.com/forum/general...and-kenny.html ) ......So why cant I buy a Turbo that will last and handle what I ask from it.... I took my car to the BEST in the country.. MSD but at a GRAND + a go for a new one, it all adds up....... Please everyone ....Your thoughts on this...It HAS to be sorted, had the car since 87/88 now...Its just driving my POTTY as everyone says they have wonderful products and...........Had enough now..HELP

 

Read up on holset turbo's something like a HX35, a few regard them as more durable then garrett and are built to handle high boost levels. Don't know if its true just read a few peoples thoughts on them.

 

Wonder if it needs an adaptor to fit the Cossy Manifold

 

sorry to hear about your problems

what turbo is it and the spec?
what psi peak? what held?

when you say the last turbo blew up, what exactly happened to it? snapped shaft?

 

it sounds like youve got oil feed issues???? cheers danny

 

have you still got the watercooling on it? Supposed to help extend the life.

 

T34 running 30psi......... all set up safe and sound by Kenny and Stu.... oils like new...........

 

a lot of t34's don't last that well at 30psi....
can you strip the turbo & see whats gone wrong with it?

 

So if a T34 cant hack it........Whats next....... Mark4 suggested a Holset HX 35 which is a Cummins Truck Diesel Turbo... http://www.holset.co.uk/mainsite/fil...set%20HX35.php ..... Anyone done this ...any thoughts...fitment, lag size...etc... (Mines a Green Top 4x4 motor)
