D-Turbo in a terrible car

[Mal]

I'm at this every evening

Pulled apart the turbo, not impressed with the play but otherwise solid. New bearing kit on order. In the mean time, I have a GT20 from my beloved C220 (I miss it dearly) to custom fit, same pattern as the GT23v so shouldn't be an issue swapping them after.

Cleaning up the GT23v



Now I don't have much pictures of the actual engine removal as it was mostly done in the dark at night. Toyota are genius in some ways and total wankers in others. Like the engine loom, lovely simple clips that are easy to undo. But the loom isn't detachable 

The only other pics I have for now are this. Hopefully I'll have a few more tomorrow
