Nm35 Turbo

Is he that ugly? Or privacy issues...

So what was the splodge of silicone supposed to do? Hold the water line in place?

Given how hard it would have been to get the shit up there; I'm amazed any of it is even close to the bolt.

^ you're right; by the time you attempt that you might as well take the bolt out, insert the washer & do it up.

BTW, is my braided oil line going in?

I'm not sure; makes getting the turbo back in a lot less fiddly IMO.

Got pics?

I do....but I won't post yet sorry. I need to talk to rosella first.

It's been a hard day, I need a giggle...

I missed this when I posted; so out of respect it has been removed.

Going back through this thread makes me laugh.

Anyway to getting to the point of why i'm posting.

I received a M35 today at my house...I'm going to name drop(rosella) so that if you wish to PM him and ask him who he used you can.

To say that I have never been more disappointed at the workmanship on a car before is going to be a big call.....this shop went full Re t a r d!

Firstly I'd like to say that rosella has done nothing wrong but to trust the workshop and "qualified" mechanic's he gave his car to.

So To start off(and this only get worse)

1/ Missing bolt on the back of intake bracket

2/ Loose top suction pipe hose clamp

3/ Suction pipe top bolt finger tight

4/ Suction pipe bottom pipe over tensioned....new stud needed as it was all but snapped

5/ Heat shields overlapping heat shield bolts....I might also add that they were rounded as well.

6/ Cross threaded Actuator bolts into the turbo...re tap needed.

7/ O2 Sensor way over tightened(well at least something was tight)

8/ After loosening the 2 bottom dump pipe bolts the whole dump pipe was flapping in the wind. Further to this there was a nut and bolt at the top that should not have been used at temp....the reason that a bolt was used was because they had drilled the thread through on the turbo rather than retapping it.

9/ Water pipe from the top not bolted on

10/ Oil line bolt not bolted on

11/ Turbo to exhaust manifold studs bolted up with ceased bolts from the turbo to dump side.....all were loose/finger tight with the exception of 1 bolt.

12/ Old line Banjo bolt missing one washer.....so it was pissing out oil everywhere. They tried to fix this by dumping a shit load of gasket goo over it.....this was there full re t a r d moment.....and everyone knows you never go full re t a r d!!!

anyway rant finished.......now to get the turbo back in tomorrow if I can!

13/ Used the banjo bolt from the block on the for the turbo........yes the one with the .8mm hole....this might have also added to the massive oil leak on top of the turbo.

It's just a banjo mate, you can shove any bolt in there can't you?

Running full system pressure to that end of the line doesn't help; but if it had been sealed, you wouldn't know.
