Oh dear?

Still trying to track down my squeeling noise. Took the air pipe from filter to turbo off to have a look at impeller. I noticed that I can move the turbo shaft quite a bit from side to side or up/down with a finger on the free end of the shaft. Is this normal or have my turbo bearings had it?

Anyone?

There will be a little play but not a lot, trying to describe how much without feeling it is not easy on here.

Technically, hardly any, like 0.110mm with a dial gauge in the oil hole and wiggling the shaft up and down. Having said that, most I see have up to 1mm roughly of play and still work fine.

I'd see if the car will start without the turbo to intake pipe (not sure if it will) and see if it still makes the noise.

Thanks guys. Will try it with the pipe off tonight.

It started and ran fine with induction pipes off. The squeal was still there but very different in character, seemed to be less defined but was defenitely turbo related I think as it is only there with turbo under heavy load. Of course the general turbo song is so much louder with the pipe off and the noises combine.

I'm fairly convinced that it might be the 'hot' end turbine hitting the shroud and resonating under heavy load????

Don't spose anyone has a second hand one?

Will ring Turbo Technics direct on Monday as I was expecting more like £300ish

Tony, could you remove/fit one for me????

Hi!

I can change it for you if you can get one, it shouldn't take to long, have to be next week though, but may have one by them, as Geoff is bringing some more bits of his engine down at the weekend.
Just sold my used Turbo to Danno, so if you need to find one still, Nigel (Koi) had one.

Thanks Tony

If you do get one then that would be great. I'm sure mine will last a bit longer so no desperate rush.

I would certainly rather have your opinion/skills involved with any used turbo.
Otherwise could you get one recon direct?

Regards

Adrian
