Re: 95 TSI AWD Project VGT Holset no 56k
I took apart my friends turbo he picked up today and clayed the VGT opening when I closed it all the way. I definitely found out why it spools so quick and muffles the exhaust so much. It closes down all the way to around 3.5cm^2 nozzle area. So variable from 3.5cm^2 all the way to 25cm^2

So it sounds like I have spun a rod bearing so testing is going to come to a knocking halt.
I need to check and see if the machine shop used the wrong bearings for the eagle rods, they are supposed to be used with 6 bolt red bearings even though they are 7 bolt rods. They have a wider tab on them. I told them at least 8 times, so we will see. Maybe I fucked something up. Who knows. It still has good oil pressure.
It will probably be at least a few months till I do anything but diagnosis. I can't afford to spend the time or money to do much with school at this time.

Got a flashlight. Lots of metal in the oil and knocking pretty good definitely a bearing. Don't know when I'll have the motivation to tear into it and find out how extensive it is. Back to driving the 75 Mercedes.
