Yesterday morning my second turbo rebuild kit arrived from Taiwan (yay), so last night I decided to refurb it again.

Started at 7pm, got the turbo off, stripped it down, fittted the kit, put it back on the car, and was finished by 10pm (all but the oil return pipe, which I had to get a seal for)

3 hours to do the lot! (well, it was clean from the last time I did it, so no cleaning done) and that was including jacking and fillng it back up with water

Its a lot quieter than it was with the old kit on it, just a slight whirr from it, but I'm hoping that will die down as it wears in.

Ah crap, just noticed the title says 'trubo', any mods about can you change it please?

maybe the whir is the un balanced shaft thats gonna fill your engine of little bits of turbo?

Nah, it was a lot worse than that before, and I'd done around 3000 miles with it like that, plus I did mark the wheels and housing to make sure it all went back in the right place.
