i rebuild a t04b/e

full clean & balance / new compressor plate / front turbine and some other stuff - $400 from turbotech in perth

oil seal kit - $90

if its bush bearing and you are willing to have a go at it, then you'll be laughing at the money you save DIY rebuild

how hard is it to put new seals in it

and what about the fin damage on the front housing would that still affect the turbo from working correctly

the hardest part was finding pliers/circlip pliers to put the tiny circlips in... no place had them... but luckily i remembered i had a pair of needlenose pliers that had a tiny end

basically after taking the turbo apart, all you have to change 2 bronze 'seals' held in by 2 circlips each.

in the $90 kit you will get a new bearing, but in a $130 kit you get the middle spinner bit too.


so is the front housing damaged or the front turbine?
if its the turbine, ill try to find the invoice i had, to see the cost of a new front turbine

i spoke to a few turbo places today and there said that the turbo not spining on idel is normal

the front blades are a little nicked but not to bad from what the turbo place said when i showed them

and ive had a j pipe made the the stadarnd exhasut flange could that be casuing poor flow and stopping me from hitting booost i got like 1-2 psi when i was at like 4000 revss ???

can you tell us your full setup, hard to picture what is going on when all we know is you have a to4b ....

have you checked area's after your turbo for any pressure loss ? such as intake/cooler piping ?

id beg to differ on that point...

heres an example, that i have proof of. The example used a gt30 turbo, and a 3l 2jz engine, std cams.. idle speed of 900rpm from memory. Using a turbine speed sensor, it showed that the turbo was spinning at 6000rpm, while engine idling...

mate, if yours isnt spinning, it means there is some serious drag involved.. i wouldnt think that a switch from ball bearing to bush bearing would result in a 6000rpm drop in speed at idle??

i tend to agree with eb 4l here, i have a plain bearing air research t4 in my el and it spins at idle, not 6000rpm but spinnin none the less
