Somthing i had looked at before as even had stainless over braid to try protect it but wasnt good enough.
Bugger about the turbo, how on earth did it hit 2 bar?? Broken mbc perhaps..? Gt2052 is alright if you're good with the welder, needs adapting onto the manifold and a new downpipe on a different flange, plus obviously the oil lines etc.
Little worried as it emptied the sump but started up fine and ticked over. Anything over 'boost' revs and it rattles like made down the exhaust which im hoping is just the turbo ratterling. Inspected it best i could last night and seems the turbine on the cool side is jammed solid.
When replacing the turbo is there a gauze in the head or anything i will need to check?
Larger turbo will be next thing after the car lives again. Got a shit hot welder buddy.
