I’m just back from being a week away up north and on the road up the girlfriends BUL engined a4 somehow drank almost a litre of oil in less than 200 miles whilst smoking whiteish smoke out the tailpipes. Great start to the holiday! Funnily enough on the drive home it never used a drop of oil
Anyway I’m now home and compression tested it to find 185 to 190 across the board. Removed the intercooler pipes and got a decent amount of oil out of them so it looks like the turbo is on its way out.
What options are out there for replacements? Obviously the cheapest sensible option would be a Melett CHRA but I’d like a wee bit more power and I’m sure the Mrs wouldn’t complain.
Are these Chinese turbos any good?
There’s also the same quality Chinese k04’s out there has anyone used one successfully?
Cheers
