Turbo Problem, Compressor Housing Spinning On Bearing Cartridge.

Hey guys,

Well, I just pulled apart my intake bits around the turbo to fit my super cool silicone inlet pipe, and whilst doing this I have noticed that the compressor housing can be rotated with very little effort on the bearing cartridge.

This is the first time I've had any of this area apart since the turbo has been installed, and I've been having a little trouble holding boost up the top, according to my dyno chrat.

A) Is there a way to tighen the bugger up without removing the turbo? (doesn't look like there is)

B) Has this happened to anyone else, the housing working loose that is?

C) you do you think this might be the reason it's not holding boost? (only dropping off and a little bit wavy, but this might also me from back pressure in the exhaust turbine....

Thoughts?

The housing is bolted on by a series of bolts isnt it Pete?

It would just be a matter of tighting all of them up.

Unless the hi-flows/stockers are different from say a GT frame turbo, as i know mine was just 6 bolts to hold the comp housing on.

The first thing to work out is if the comp housing is turning on its backplate or if the housing and backplate are rotating on the front of the bearing housing . It would help to know what kind of turbo it is too because for example some Garrett GT BB turbos fix the backplate to the bearing housing with a large circlip . Others like T3 or T4 based turbos have the backplate bolted to the front of the turbos bearing housing .

Cheers A .

Yeah, it's spinning on the 6 bolts that hold the housing section on.

I tried to get in there but there's too much crap around it.

I'm thinking this is going to be a 'turbo out' excursion? :)

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
