Thanked 5,021 Times in 4,072 Postsa good write up on swopping the internals of the turbo. However i'd spend a bit more time & remove the turbo complete instead of splitting & leaving the exhaust housing on, doing it his way you risk bending the turbine blades as he did (not sure if he's noticed as he doesn't mention it Originally Posted by thunderace

Thanked 20 Times in 20 PostsQuite an interesting write up and would be cool to do but I'm still in favour of going down the lazy route and getting a big ol Garrett or similar.

Thanked 20 Times in 20 PostsI have found out the hard way many, many times lol. I am just curious wether building a hybrid turbo is any easier than getting an aftermarket unit. Originally Posted by theflyingbrick
