Unbelievable, you sure aren't having much luck with this car.

 

What happened to the turbo?

 

I thought you just had a whole new engine , doesn't that include the turbo?

 

A.

no turbo wasn't included in the first round of repairs, the engine was replaced (becuase of piston slap, excessive oil usage and number 4 piston being completely shagged!). They inspected the turbo and it looked fine and decided to save me $600 having it rebuilt because they couldn't conclusively say that the turbo was faulty, but at 400klms I had a cloud of smoke and there was a fair amount of oil (which they suspect was leaking through the turbo and out of the BOV) so now it's conclusive they're replacing it. What annoys me a little bit is that if I had have paid the $600 and the turbo WAS faulty they would have reimbursed me the money spent for investigation.

Who does your repairs ? , have u concidered a hi flow maybe with ball bearing core & steel wheels or a replacement turbo . Or do u wish to retain stock items. nice rare car too ;) cheers Dave

If I was paying for it I would have done things differently, but as it's being done under warranty it's being done "stock" for my car, so I get the stock turbo, the stock engine (I would have re-bored and put in oversized pistons and a bigger turbo on!!).

 

All my work is being done through Toyota as it's still under warranty and I don't want to void it (they even installed my turbo timer!!).
