My 19t was a lot better than my 18t was and there was a noticeable difference but that could've been down to the angled downpipe from the straight flange.

if your turbo is healthy there isn't really any point, mine was knackered so i upgraded cos one come up at the right time. but you can use the exhaust housing from your 18t and swap it for the 19t's like mine is

think mine is ££££ed, what should the wastegate feel like when you open it by hand? Mine feels like its grinding?

mine was knacked but still boosted to 4000rpms it surely would smoke if it was knackered it's a mystery lol

If it feels like that, could very well be that diaphragm is split/torn. It will not hold boost, that's certain.

I'm gonna try a blanking plate on it to see if it makes any difference. Someone mentioned the turbo could be cracked, would a smoke test show it?

When you say a blanking plate, are you meaning taking the recirc valve off and putting the plate on? That's not going to change anything as regards the wastegate actuator and diaphragm which I though was what you think is the problem?

adam280

Ive changed the actuator already. Could the recirc valve cause loss of boost?

Simple answer is yes - presume your certain that there ain't a leak in any hoses? Also, if you are running higher boost than standard, the recirc valve may be letting it go too soon. Same problem can occur with a BOV (that's why Forge do springs of different rates).

Got a hlm 310 but it started doing it before we fitted it, I've checked all the hoses. Frankie put his boost gauge on and there is no boost what so ever.

Well nowt at all suggests a more major problem than either a diaphragm problem on the actuator, or a problem with the recirc valve. Problem with either should still allow for some boost, from experience...

Just had the pipe off from the maf to the turbo and found out the turbo has siezed. New turbo time then, do I get mine reconed or get a second hand one?

i'd have a look into why it seized before you put a new turbo on

Was gonna check I have oil coming through the pipe when I get round to changing it, what else could make it sieze?

if you cant find an 18t or a 19t or getting it refurbed is too dear, dont be afraid to stick a 16t on cos there is not much difference mate, and you can pick them up cheap

midland turbo have said for a basic rebuild £175 that's all seals and bearings or if it needs completely rebuilding it will be £350, they said it could have siezed due to coke build up. Don't think anything has snapped inside as I would of heard it go? How hard are they to take off I've read a few posts and it put me off a bit

not too bad of a job mate if you have the right tools few hours to get off undo all the bolts and water and oil lines you may need to smack it to free it when everything has been undone, i used a big chisel and a hammer, its putting it all bag together that needs more care, get new seals for the return pipe and copper washers for the banjos 1 washer each side of the banjo or it will leak. might take a couple of days to do the whole job. depending if the bolts all come out good
