You need to right click and copy shortcut and not what he sent because the link is too long and it has shortened it by adding "...".

Or you can open it in the browser and then copy the link from the top.

They only tell you so much. Any shaft play or seal wear?

 

[Ibiza125]

They "look" ok. Depends how much play there is in the shaft. There should be a little but not excessive.

 

[tommy2008cupra]

he said there is no play in the shaft and that it has done 40k, how would i check seal wear mate?

 

[Robbie C]

Can only take his word for it really - did he see any smoke out the back when it was on the car?

 

[tommy2008cupra]

il have to ask him mate, apparently its off his misses tt which she smashed up or sumin

 

[tommy2008cupra]

any more thoughts from experienced members as i havent bought a second hand turbo before

 

[tommy2008cupra]

also when i get it on can i run it on revo stage 1 for a bit as i have searched and found differing things?

 

[daves ibiza]

tommy mate i woulnt recomend second hand turbo as anything could happen mate put it on and smoke out. some turbos u woulnt no intill u put it on . take a bit of advice. stretch ur pocket mate and get new lol like myself lol. and yes mate u buy that turbo ud need a map to make it run its best. whats wrong with your turbo dude.

if you do buy mate give us a shout and ill come down to give you a hand feller. dai

 

[tommy2008cupra]

ye i know mate jus wana check it out first i think its pretty new of a low mileage car 2005 i think, but the end of the day i cant afford 500 sheets for a brand spanker when i could spend half that for one ye its used but prob one of the newer examples i could get with relatively low mileage, lol needs more power mate of course, i know man need to buy new bolts gaskets etc if i do buy then u can come down and i can watch u do it lol btw that dv seems to be alot betta than that split r nice one

 

[daves ibiza]

good mate glad u think so. oviously you got your own opinions but i stay well clear as i bought 2 on last car newish turbos no play in shaft then started it up the . it took me bout an hour to take turbo off with right tools lol so should be better next time. as ill b fitting mine myself then goin to see bill.

 

[tommy2008cupra]
