Well Got my Turbo Yesterday. turns out that it has more shaft play than my stock one. It doesnt have in and out play though.




I also got my Oil Pressure Sensor for the back of the block. thats gonna get installed ASAP




Seak Peak At the Lip...........
















Wait for it...........

Damn that sucks that it has more shaft play not good.

Ya know, some of us enjoy a little shaft play occasionally...

Ok yesterday I did my oil Pressure sensor. turns out that the sensor itself was good and wasnt leaking. how ever all the oil was coming from the turbo.. Im hoping my lines are good, but the turbo will be swapped out this weekend..

i love shaft play.. Just not that kind lol.

When I do my turbo I'm replacing all of the lines, much easier than dealing with leakage later. Where is the oil coming from? The feed line?

i have no clue. theres oil all over. There is oil on the center of the turbo as well as all over the Charge pipe and lines..

Sounds like the feed line, the return/drain tube is more towards the rear of the turbo, although those tend to leak as well.

Tru. I might just pic up all new lines.. Do you know where I can get them from for a cheap price... The car doesnt smoke like a blown turbo does.. everyonce in a while ill get a random small white/blueish cloud, but not all the time. Spools good, but the "butt dyno " tells me its not performing like it should

Update::

Hopefully getting new oil lines as well as another turbo tomorrow.. Im gonna try to have everything installed friday night or saturday after noon..

So are you getting rid of that turbo at the top of the page and getting different turbo?

I sent the turbo at the top of the page back to Slaw. I bought it off him.. I have a local guy who thought he had a blown turbo, bought another turbo in perfect shap. Im gonna get it off of him..

yea sorry about that again... god im such a noob!
idk what im gonna do with that one, maybe a hood prop for shows if i swap it, maybe a paperweight
maybe sell it on ebay and mark it as for parts or as is and list it has shaft play idk
but good luck with the new one

Its cool.. I seen a guy on STforums how was buying a bunch of sock turbos good and bad.. If i find the link ill send it to you..

Update...

I got my nexo PX5's for really cheap because the tires where shot. They are so bad, i cant do more than 60 mph on the highway in the rain. Fuckin scary .. So I have inspection coming up and I just bought some tires..225/45/17 Nankang NS1's from discount tire direct. 264 shipped.. I just need a cheap set of tires. Nothing special. i already have rims with snow tires and rims with drag radials.. So i opted for cheaps instead of good high performance tires.

When doing my oil pressure sensor, I could see all the oil all over my lines and the intercooler pipe from the turbo. So when LSP mentioned it to me about oil lines leaking, I decided to get some. I got a set coming in, in a couple days.. I still have to get the other turbo, but all i need right now to pass inspection are the tires. I dont leave until august 1st, so i have about a month to get the turbo and lines in.

Do you have the banjo fittings?? There's a list in my thread of all the lines and PN's for them and their washers, etc. Coking is common in the oil feed line so it's something to consider replacing once you have it off.

I was gonna pick up all the fittings and crush washers sometime this week..

Good stuff, make sure you get em new! Best of luck with it all. Your girl is bringing your car down this sunday or her car?

Shes gonna bring my car.. Im gonna clean it real good, but help her out if anything.. i gotta work..

Will do! I'll be there. Make sure she meets up with us wherever we meet up beforehand so we can all park together.

Ill let her know.. Where are you guys gonna meet at?????

Not sure yet, I may not be able to go my father is having surgery.

Update:;

Got my turbo today.. only 10K and in perfect shape.. As soon as the oil lines come in ill get the hardware from the dealer and install everything..

Just added the deck lid carpet.. I took it from Linas car.. lol..

Had the tires put on yesterday... Walmart mounted and balanced them for onnly 40 bucks..lol.. Every where else wanted between 100-150 for it..

Now that looks REALLY damn nice!!!

Thanx.. Pretty cheap too.. I paid 264 shipped for the tires and 40 for mounting and balancing.. Not a bad 300 spent.. Rides way better.. I can take it to get inspected now, but im fuckin nervous. Im always nervous with inspections.. Nothing has changed since last year so hopefully it will pass again..

Nice... good luck on the inspection!

Thanx.. Its supposed to be done in June, but i lake to wait until the 1st day of the next month, that way I get 13 months lol..

Wow walmart did a nice job on your wheels but they scratched and ruined all my rims. WTF.

Looks awesome man.

I LOLd hard when I saw that you took your carpet from your girl's car rofl.
