Tarlach. Posted September 29, 2020 Report Posted September 29, 2020 Tarlach Too has developed a hole in her turbo housing? Can this be repaired properly? And by repair I mean a fix that will last, not a plaster! Thanks my learned colleagues ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Jim 1 Quote
niggle Posted September 29, 2020 Report Posted September 29, 2020 If you want it to last best to get a new one or find a turbo repair specialist to rebuild into new housing Tarlach. 1 Quote
Tarlach. Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Posted September 29, 2020 Welding it closed is not an option then ?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
niggle Posted September 29, 2020 Report Posted September 29, 2020 You could try with somebody that’s good welding cast iron but it looks very weak/thin.Worth trying Quote
Tarlach. Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Posted September 29, 2020 I think new is possibly the way to go ! OuchSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
niggle Posted September 29, 2020 Report Posted September 29, 2020 If you can get the numbers from the Turbo then try matching to a car one would be cheaperNew car turbos are about £600 . Exchange are about a hundred pounds cheaper let me have make and numbers and I’ll try to see if I can get you one Stuie and Jim 2 Quote
Tarlach. Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Posted September 29, 2020 Thanks Nigel, I don’t have any make or numbers. This is the only writing I can see on the unit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
niggle Posted September 29, 2020 Report Posted September 29, 2020 When it’s off should be either a tag or flat area stamped, but then it is a boat Quote
Maverick Martin Posted September 29, 2020 Report Posted September 29, 2020 If you have the engine manufacturer, year, model and horsepower i would think you could find find the turbo details from that as I don't believe marine engines have many variables due to low production runs Quote

I’ve looked up my engine and there are 3 different part numbers for the turbo !I’ll just have to go take it off and try to find a data plate .
