Rather than a £200 turbo, which may not be that great. Its common to run your finger over the score lines on the shaft, and its not uncommon for the blades to have scuffed the houses either, they arnt scrap after this, just not ideal. Depends what you want out of an XUD though.
well had another look at the shaft today and it cleaned up ok, there is scoring but as you say should not bother it to much,, so have decided to go for the rebuild kit, I did mark the wheels before i removed them, but think i need a new bearing housing (core without the guts) the piston ring grove has nearly worn away. cant find the same one listed, anyone know if i can use another gt series housing without the water cooling?? have tried the land rover td5 one but its totally different,
