Got my Turbo Today
Only issue is one of the DP housing bolt holes needs to be repaired. ill just have the shop helicoil it. I do need a flange for the exhaust housing though and I cant seem to find one that will fit that 4 bolt pattern. Came with a spare backing plate with a carbon seal in it if I wanted to go draw through.

Re: Got my Turbo Today
Where'd you get it and how much did it set you back? Looks like it's in decent shape... much shaft play?

Re: Got my Turbo Today
Got it off a turbo regal site. $65 shipped. It has some side to side play but no front to back. The backing plate looks new guy said he recently had it rebuilt. Also came with a spare backing plate with a carbon seal. Story goes the guy had it on a car (drawthrough) and it was sucking a ton of oil. He sent it off to be rebuilt. Got it back did the same thing then realized it needed a carbon seal. bought the parts never put them on and lost interest in the car.

Re: Got my Turbo Today
looks good. are you putting that on a single cam ??
looks like that 3 bolt flange is the same as a stock a6 ex manifold, or is close enuff to mock up |
Re: Got my Turbo Today
Its going on this... how can you tell if the side to side play is too much? I can barely wiggle it and it does not touch the housings at all.

Re: Got my Turbo Today
you should be able to make that 4 bolt flange easy enough. i made all of my flanges for my turbo with a bandsaw, torch and grinders
