Re: Turbo Failure 200 1984

best to determine if it seized or just blows oil like the other guys said.

take the intake tube off the front of turbo from the airbox and check the side play of the shaft. if it moves a lot then the bearings inside the turbo are shot.

you dont necessarily need to buy a new or rebuilt turbo.

I have a friend that put in a junkyard turbo that was good and had not shaft side play and he is running 13 psi reliably.

those can be had with manifold for $150 or so.

u could probably put it on yourself even.

message people, and place wanted ads if u want to go that route

I have never driven a 240 turbo with a shot turbo, but my valve cover leaked last night only under boost after changing the gasket the day before. it was a bear to drive, and it was very unsafe since it had no power @ all.

hope this helps

take care
