It is a ------ pain drilling those out with a hand drill

Re: turbo's-vafcII-autometer-chang mani
 

Take it to a machine shop. They charge about $10 a hole to remove/repair. $30 will get it back to as good as new. I do agree that it's a pain, but seriously is it urgently needed? Are you about to bolt the turbo on and those bolt holes are what's stopping you; or are you still gathering parts and a delay won't matter? He probably should have told you, but that's how it goes buying used turbos especially ones that are spray painted lime green lol.

It doesn't matter whether he's putting this turbo on tomorrow or in a year, the seller should've disclosed the fact and obviously knew about it.

Re: turbo's-vafcII-autometer-chang mani
 

its the 60/63 not the green one and it takes 10 mins to drill them out your self.

Re: turbo's-vafcII-autometer-chang mani
 

this is hmt i'd figure he had some mechanical knowledge/ fab skills but obviusly not, thats the way i got it from the junk yard and so was my roomates 60/48 which we drilled out and took a whooping 20 min at the max

Re: turbo's-vafcII-autometer-chang mani
 

20 mins? really? you're even dumber than you make yourself out to be. and its not 3 bolts, its 4 out of 5 you fag. the turbo is a POS. EVERY bolt is either completely rusted solid or snapped off. im not just talking about the downpipe flange bolts either, all the center section bolts are fucked. matt (rusty rotors) already filed a paypal claim, and has taken many pictures. you're a piece of ---- ososlow. not only did he have to wait 2 weeks after payment to receive it (so u could save 3 or 4 dollars on shipping?) , but its ------- shot too. in and out play means shot turbo you stupid ------- redneck bitch, and this is HMT, i thought u would have a little knowledge and u would know that without having to be told, guess not though. thanks for being a real great seller

Re: turbo's-vafcII-autometer-chang mani
 

Up/down play does equal a worthless turbo. To make it right again you'd have to machine the bearing housing .010 over in a couple places and replace with oversize bearings/seals and a new compressor wheel. Not to mention a dynamic balance. That'll cost WAY more than the small T3 is worth, so yeah it's worthless.

So an unknown mileage 60/63 turns out to be a core instead of a good turbo. Shocking. If you want a good turbo use the 60/63 as a core and buy something new because used turbos are like playing Russian Roulette and this time it looks like the Russian won haha. Or send it to me for $40 because I need parts off of it.

It's no surprise he found this turbo in the trash ::)
