Frosty's Ph1 Black D Turbo now with VNT

[Frosty]

Had been driving this for over a month and done over 1000 miles all going well but then it decided to start making an odd noise. After inspection it seem to have an exhaust gas leak from the turbo area so had to pop the turbo off which isnt a very easy job give the size of it down the back. Once the turbo was off it was pretty easy to see the issue.



And once i had taken the turbo off the adaptor tube



As you can see the gasket had blown through. Had a look at the plate it was bolted to and it seemed to be a bit warped which i expect was from the heat when the tube go welded to it. So i got that skimmed a bit and then made up a new gasket and put some paste on it this time just incase. All back together and driving again.

Did also manage to get it stuck in a field the other day. End result a very muddy car
