Jim Posted October 9, 2020 Report Posted October 9, 2020 Thanks Kam Gives us an insight. Very wise words. Quote
Tarlach. Posted October 17, 2020 Author Report Posted October 17, 2020 So a quick update on this. I collected my refurbished turbo this morning...At a cost of £680+ vat, it’s not a bad job I reckon..Four hours later and I’m at the point where all the mechanical bits are connected in what I hope are all the right places. Still have to fill the coolant back up and run up the engine which I will do tomorrow morning !Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Andy135, Stuie, Jim and 2 others 5 Quote

Tarlach. Posted October 18, 2020 Author Report Posted October 18, 2020 all ok?In the end yes, never made the sea trial though as ran out of time and had to take Leo to footie. Took 4 attempts to get alignment 100% as small puffs of smoke were evident. Forth attempt saw the utilisation of a bit of temp gum to help seal the fitting.
