Well, 18mth after the conversion ( around 13k miles ) the turbo has given up the ghost, We had white smoke smelling like oil after car being left for a short while ticking over or when pulling away.
I took the turbo off and sent it to turbo dynamics where it was built and... the news wasnt good, "the housing is cracked " the exhaust housing has a crack in it so im told , im not sure this would cause the smoke as it wouldnt allow anything in surely??
Any how the thing now is i need either a K04 exhaust housing that i can send to TD or an idea what people think would be good? I mean ive only tried JBS stuff before and to be honest its proving a let down on the after sales , It went in 3 times for it to be checked and ... "everything is fine " was the out come.
Has anybody got a housing first?
I am more than happy to buy an non cracked K04 ( with the egt sensor hole)
failing that what other potions are out there? a new unit the same as i have will cost £1250 plus vat
thanks paul
