Best place to get my turbo refurb ? Cheers

 

back of fast ford or ebay mate loads of companies

 

Pm Christian. he knows a place, excellent prices too.

 

Thanks

 

Reason im thinking of a refurb,due to tiny play back and forth play.works fine etc,done over 100k on turbo,so it had a good life.how much play is too much? Probably been asked on here loads,so sorry in advance.

 

a small bit front and back is ok mate, its up and down or side to side thats bad, if its not smoking or burning oil then it should be fine, but if your set on it to be safe then its worth doing IMO

 

its pritty normal to have a bit off side to side play under 1 mm. in and out is the bad one.

companys cr turbos are pritty good

 

PM Wilky on here, he sorted mine for a good price.

 

speak to vince at cr turbo's. what he doesnt know aint worth knowing... cheers

 

sorry wrong way round mate

 

Lol thanks guys.yay got very small movement in and out.car been sitting for month,thought id check it.turbo fine but that in and out got me wondering.

 

before you start the car again a good idea to take off the dizzy cap and turn engine over for 30 secs to get some oil around the turbo before full start up mate its called priming the turbo, saves running it dry

 

Old or new turbo?

 

for both mate as they will dry out if left stod still, its precausionery really, tick over is about 750 rpm with a tendancy for your turbo to spin up fast on start up and most probably be very dry of oil unless you use some sort of fully synthetic or wynns coating, so best to be safe and just prime it mate

 

So with the car sitting about with no oil in the turbo could cause the play.once oil in the turbo it should'nt move in and out.. sorry if im having a blonde moment.

 

no wear will only be caused by it being dry on start up or old age after abuse which its does not seem you have, if you are going to start it after a long period of non use its best to prime to be safe and put oil in first before you start the car
