Hey guys,

i was drivin home last nite. as i was turning a corner i heard a strange noise. sounded a lot like miss-fire, i could feel a vibration coming from the engine bay. I figured my coilpacks had finally gone. I was only a few mins from home and had to go to work so i figured ill drive it slowly home. the noise would go and come back, the car had no power at all. then as i turned into my street the noise when and then all of a sudden there was a loud winding noise, the higher the revs the louder it is. sounds like turbo wheel is scrapping against something. and its def comin from the turbo side... and im only getting vac no boost!!

anyone had this happen...???

good thing i was looking into getting a high-flowed turbo anyways lol

i've got the basic mods:

fmic

turbo back stainless 3' with no cat

pod filter

safc

was making 190rwkws at 12psi

and thats all i really wanted for street use.

can u guys help me choose a new turbo, since im upgrading it would b nice to have round 220rwkws on a safe tune, i was looking at the

GT3076

or getting mine highflowed by Hypergear - around $800 and comes with 12mnths warranty

i dont want anything big and laggy and so i have to spend another 3k changing injectors, ecu...etc

im happy to spend around 1k.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      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.
