Have you had the turbo for a while? An unusual thing to happen, any idea what caused it?

never used it got it second hand.
i got it as a fully working low mileage turbo and just discovered its no good so not sure how it happened to be honest

There is a big difference in the cost of a new core for a turbo and buying a brand new one.
I have just had a similar issue with my Son's Subaru Impreza WRX STI. The turbo on it was a secondhand one and unfortunately we discovered it had a cracked exhaust housing and the oil seals were shot.
Could have got a new core for it for only £280 but as it is also cracked it was a better option getting a brand new uprated one.
The cost for a new core for your turbo would be a lot more of course!

think a core is over a grand will probably just get a complete new one
