hi all im prity new to the rs turbo seen. ive blown my turbo on me scort and whats the best turbo to go for im not wanting massive power just dont wanna lose the power i had any help would be great

craig rst kid

send urs off if u ent planning on upping the power will b cheaper option or buy a good used 1 and use ur actuator so the boost is still the same so u ent risking it running to lean when on boost

As above.get it sent off for rebuild.normally cost around 300quid ,maybe less.Dont buy cheap aftermarket turbos like off ebay.

yh ive read loads of peps say not get the cheap ebay ones was thinking bowt rebuild would be peice of mind if it was rebuilt

craig rst kid

u will b better off sending urs off m8 then u know its spot on as above the cheap aftermarket 1s are a recipe 4 trouble

Had loads of cheap e bay turbos on various projects and never had any issues to date have you had a few? there is a complete brand new t3 unit on the bay just now for less than 200 quid delivered, or alternativly you can re build your turbo yourself with a genuine garrett re build kit for 70 quid. If your not handy with spanners im sure an approved centre will re build it for 400 quid though.

yh think thats what im going to do just need to get on the blower and get some quotes

Your a lucky person then.ive never had one but heard plenty of stories of them last few months if not less.i got close friend who works for pec and he told me to stay clear.so my saying goes why ignore a expert lol.

chaffe

cool, ill keep buying them cos they work for me

craig rst kid

my pal decided to go 4 a t43 cheap after market 1 an it lasted bout 4 months but u had a fair few not saying ur wrong but advising him to get it done properly so no risk of replacing it a ageni personally would stay with a garrett m8

chaffe

i would almost give the boy a refund personally if the turbo didnt work thats how confident i am. But the fact the original one has failed sugests mmaybe low cvh oil pressure love fords

chaffe

thats the type ive used, not saying they will take 25 psi all day, but ive ran 15 for over a year and 12000 miles no probs

You never know they might be fine on low to mild boost.
It can be tempting to buy cheaper turbo.But id prefere to buy a trusted brand at the right price.everyone to their own. :-p

craig rst kid

agreed bt as u say every1 2 their own

coz it is lyk a wel cheep 1 init, is it tru they do a t43 1 2???? MASSIVE i fort da biggest was a t34.

But sound advice, if it were my car and i was keeping it i would probably opt for a rebuild from a company like CR turbos or turbo developments, i would guestimate between £3-400, if your not keeping the car i would go for a good used t3 off of flee bay.
