wow wish i could quit mine!

do it!!!!

nothing like a little peer pressure, I've been getting it on my phone from a few influential people

don't do it unless you have somewhere else to work

have to say i'm getting the "am i doing the right thing?" feeling now

ah what size is it

I think something like a 3inch pipe with a 4-4.5inch tip. havent really mesured yet. all stainless to.

Hope i get it all done tomorrow, wouldnt mind hearing how it is in the tunnels hehe

Hey Pete its ceramic and after 5,000 rpm it sounds like a supercharger whistle so now I'm not boosting @ all and I've taken as much boost out of the manual controller as i can so its basically running factory boost to which i'm not using trying to drive on 0 or neg vacuum

Sounds like you've lost a little bit of the impellar which probably just shot out of the exhaust.

I wouldn't be doing too much driving if I were you because the blades can get fairly unbalanced and shatter now.

OK if the pieces shoot straight out your exhaust.......not OK if a piece gets caught between an exhaust valve and seat.

oh what happens then and when I'm on negative vacuum my understanding is the turbine isn't spinning?? :(

Wouldn't have thought it would stop spinning altogether but as long as your under boost I can't imagine the thing would fly apart.

You would think that the ceramic has gone but you never know, it could also be something else?!

My old 32 was doing this about a day before the rear tubine let go and lodged itself in my cat, as SLED said i really wouldn't wanna drive the car that much cause it sounds like the turbo's close to death

yeah I'm doing barest minimum with 0 or little boost

when mine blew i was in town and had to drive my car to woodcroft to my mates to fix it, was a f__ked drive with no boost trying to get up south road

    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
