Title: Turbo problem
Post by: M7AXB on October 07, 2013, 11:23:51 pm

Hi all!


Just bought a nearly new turbo to fit to my eddy.

It all looks okay except one on the hose connectors is broke as per pic

Would i be able to just swap over the bit easily of my old ko4? Tried to contact seller but, no reply yet as a bit unfair saying in very good condition when I'm going to have to get this fixed now too. Having no luck ATM :sad1:

They are very fragile. One little knock and it breaks. Use the n75 from your old turbo.

So was it something going into the turbo that caused the issue?

Yes mate, you were right :notworthy:. I bought a second hand ITG that was half assembled and just fired it on. When I took it all off to look into it further i found a bolt inside  :scared:

Is it easy to switch over the n75? I'm not wanting charged a fortune in labour by this garage.

Cheers
