No. the turbo is stuffed the turbo is stuffed.

It may not be stuffed. Check for gasket leaks at the flanges. Assuming you know what a flange is

wd40 is a good product, but it wont rebuild your turbo for you.

Flange: common slang term used for vagina... so check your turbos vagina.

Spraying the turbo with WD40 will do nothing to help the situation.

Here is a potential cause.

Having a series 2 your turbo has a bakerlight compressor wheel, a very hard plastic and this could be scuffing on the housing making a squeek or high pitch squeel.

It happens because the shaft wears out and usually there is forward/backward movement in the shaft causing it to push forward on the housing or backward on the backing plate.

It will eventually explode and throw bits of plastic all through your intake soon if the noise is in fact coming from the turbo.

Or you could have a bird in there that is opposed to greater boost pressures.

Kind of like a Nissan Nazi Budgie.

If anybody watched Top Gear on Monday night and saw the actor who drove the well priced car around the circuit and Clarkeson asking about a string of 911 Porches he had owned. As they were chatting about his string of cars he admitted he new bugger all about them and on one occasion was driving his brand new 944 he had picked up the day before, realising he didn't like it he stopped off at the Porche dealership and got another 911. He couldn't tell Clarkeson what model it was and the only one he could remember was the one he was actually driving to the interview. He couldn't even tell if any of them had been a turbo or RS or wide body.

My point ? If someone knows nothing about a particular car and still can't find the time to read enough to at least make some kind of considered opinion as to how it operates then does he deserve ownership ? Of course he does. That's what money is for. I wonder though why there are no longer any genuine GT Falcons left. GTR XU1's ? E49 chargers ? Because they, (like our Skylines will eventually be) were thrashed, crashed and neglected by people who never took five minute's to learn even the basics of maintainance before asking how their engine blew up. But hey, stuff it, it's just a bloody car after all. I shall now don my fire suit. Let the flaming begin.

Some funny replies there. My problem is, i bought a turbo off someone from the forums, put it on my car a few months back cause mine was f*ked and while changing it the gasket was kind of breaking but i had no way of getting another one because it was a public holiday.

So i used the original gasket. On sunday i had an exhaust leak which sounds like its coming from the gasket between the turbo and manifold. I bought the new gasket today and since half my stuff is out i thought i would spray wd40 in there to possibly help the squeak.

I wanted to know if it would hurt the turbo NOT fix it.

Oh and whats a flange?

A VAGINA !!!

they already told you

[Mr. Untouchable]

the base of your turbine housing bolts the the FLANGE on your manifold. your manifold starts off with a flange, the item that mates agaisnt your head....

if metal flanges remind you of pussy, you are getting some bad pussy.... real bad

[WET-25T]

Ok i dont think you got my sarcasm.

Pissing in the front of it will do the same thing. Save yourself $3.50 on a can of wd40

[FineLine]

can you tell me where my turbo's vagina is ? asap please

In the drivers seat.

[WET-25T]

I sprayed about 0.00007 cents into it. Just the fro nt wheel, then wiped the remains away when it went to the bottom. Meh, im more annoyed that one of the studs came out of the manifold.

To save me the run around and because i need my car for work asap due to my boss not wanting to pick me up everyday, where can i get a new stud and nut?

Cheers
