I was just out in the freezing cold, working on the new turbo car.
I pulled the idle valve off and cleaned it out with wd40, put new hoses that attach it on.
I check the turbo for end play. lmost none, on the original turbo 190Km on it.
I put all the IC piping back on. Start it up, wholly crap the turbo is screaming!! I thought, maybe when i was checking for end play I pushed too hard, so I pull it back apart, pull the shaft towards me, even tho earlier when I check there is no horizontal movment. I think, for some reason it has no oil pressure, so I pull the coil and turn it over, oil light goes off, oil pressurized, Try and start it. Screams again, revs up, then dies, almost like it has a huge vaccum leak.
Any Ideas? I have a no so great condition watercooled turbo sitting on my work bench. But I don't ahve the rest of the kit to actaully make it water cooled.
So,
what can it be?
if its the turbo shot, i killed it, can i run the watercooled turbo without the watercooling for the time being? until I can peice together a kit?
This isn't my car, I'm just supposed to make it run better. Its my step bro's and needs it in the next few days....
