Turbo help

[dalhousie2008]

Hi all after a long time I have just brought a standard t5r, having had when nearly new many years ago an 850r, t5 and t4. Any how just doing routine stuff pct valve when I felt end float and up and down movement on turbo shaft. Does anybody know how much there should be? Also just brought an angle exit turbo 16t from an me7.

Obviously mine is prob straight exit turbo, do I use down pipe from me7? Will it meet straight up or do I cut the me7 flange and curve then weld it on to my existing down pipe and cat.

It's my daily driver so just after simple fix as of now and it's all standard.

But I'll be moving at end of month to a new house with parking for another 3 t5 etc, so will be looking at tuning one yay!!!

Any how hope you guys can help.

Cheers guys

P.s is it a nightmare to change the turbo?

ya willl need the me7 downpipe aswell to mate up with the 16t turbo , to change the turbo it isnt hard at all but to a novice probs a total nytmare

T5R = 99% chance its got a conical outlet. hence.....16T with straight outlet = need matching downpipe.
