once its bloody fixed,

i cant be doing with this, turbo gone again , why thought i cant understand

stage 2 turbo technics, done 3.5k, 16/21 psi

is it likely for this to go cos of the boost?

its always left to cool down and warm up

cheers

 

oil contamination....


its the latest craze

 

Andy did you not have issues with your turbo last year?

 

My stage2 from Universal turbo's has been good as gold since fitted 3 years ago and it's been putting up with 25psi for the last 2 years.

Wait for it now you fooker as I post up at the weekend that mine has fucked up as that's what happened when I said my Panasonic TV was great

 

yep, that was the turbo company making bad turbos though,

i would of thought the turbo technics would of been fine,

the engine is brand new so no issues with oil feed, so why is the oil contamionated, it is changed every 4-6k depending on what driving i have been doing

 

cant see any reason for mine to be going then

 

What oil breather kit do you have on the car?

I have seen problems in the past where running similar boost to what your running with inadequate breathers has caused emulsification in the boost hoses.

If the above was the case then I suppose its feasable that over time this may well effect your turbo.

 

Not saying this couldnt happen, but didn't Stu build your engine up mate? Sure he would have had the above covered

 

P.s Dont sell it mate, why dont you go the T34 route and make it a proper weapon!

You know it makes sense!

 

yeh ma turbo was same on ma last car.done 5000 gentle miles and packed in.whats that all about

 

Where did you get yours from then Steven?

 

it was pts.bout two years ago on an old turbo i had.

 

it has a standard breather system, do you think a bailey breather system would be a wise choice?

 

What is wrong with the turbo now Andy?

Tricky blew his turbo to pieces last night!!!!

 

Getting away from the standard set up and allowing crankcase preassures to be relieved can only be a good thing IMO.

 

Put a T34 and an after market oil breather on it
Have you got an oil pre filter in your oil feed pipe to the turbo?
Best Ł50 I spent on mine, saves the bullshit excuses of oil contamination

 

cheers, will get a bailey breather,

i dont have a pre filter, where di you get yours from please

Daz, its whining like mad, if i get chance, i will pop round this weeknd
and let you have a listen

 

I got mine from SCC , they advertise in Performance Ford magazine I believe. Well worth the Ł50.

 

cheers, will check them out

also, wot work is there to fit a t34, you got me thinking now

 

I think (but may be wrong) it's just a down pipe and boost hoses then a set up afterwards.

Your old one should be under warranty anyway shouldn't it?

 

yeah im going to ring them tomoorow

tlaking to graham cusack at the mo and on msn and he saying i should definately be running a dump vave at 21 psi, have been told that by some one else too, wot u reckon daz?

 

Dunno, I hate the fucking things personally. Trumpet valves have been mentioned a lot on here and that they are only really needed when running a turbo close (or over) to it's limits or if the turbo is a large one like a T4 where the inertia can snap the shafts...

 

I presume that you are running standard management and still have the metering head from the comment about changing the hoses?

I put my T34 on when it had cossie management on so all I had to do was swap the turbo over.

You can go with an rs turbo exhaust housing and it'll go straight on to the turbo and exhaust without any mods but the turbo I bought had a cossie .63 housing on it so SCC made a custom downpipe for it to mate to the exhaust.

If you do go for the T34 , go for the cossie .63 housing
Worth it for the future

Couple of pics for you Andy to tease you





Cheers
Dave
