Yeah I think the best bet is to get it high flowed (steel wheels) and then you wont have to worry. Run stock boost no issue

Then when you want more power just get the supporting mods and wind the boost up. Cheaper than constantly buying replacement stock turbos

I know its not really solving the original problem. But still a good idea

Hi Stao.....read my post. There are ways it could happen. Anything that causes that signal to be lower (where it is sourced from) than the turbo's outlet pressure will permit it to work too hard.

Maybe....but what happens when you have that is that the turbo spins up and gets hot, then the bearings gall and sieze and the sudden shock would be what shakes the turbine loose. But I wouldn't expect the shaft to spin nicely afterwards, and it sounds like yours still have been.

The rear wheel doesn't spin after they blow up, all 3 turbos the rear wheel has been f**ked and the front wheel still spins!! One of the turbos found some of the rear wheel in my exhaust (cat)

Okay thanks for that input guys, if a steel wheel turbo is what's going to fix this problem looks like that's what I'm gonna do, I'm also going to check the oil flow but other then that it's got me stumped. So if anyone could recommend someone who does decent turbo rebuilds that would be greatly appreciated as is all of your input! Thanks

Check out the latest results from our current 21U std R33 high flowed turbocharger on the last few pages. They are capable of doing factory alike response of 260rwkws+ on P98 and have done 320rwkws with E85. Cost only $850 now with oil line, and that has been welly track proven.

yeah just go with hypergear, the new 21U profile is pretty damn good. someone made over 320 kw on e85 with it which is amazing for the stock r33 turbo housings. other than that it performs well as a stock replacement with a bit more oomph. responsiveness is about the same as a stockker because the stockers are just old now anyway.

edit: forgot to mention its cheaper than the competition too

The wheels live on a common shaft. If the comp wheel will spin, then the shaft is free to turn, and if the turbine was still there (which it's not because it's dead) it would then still spin too.

Thanks for all your help everyone, it was a block in the oil line! It's been fixed and I put a steel wheel turbo on the car aswell

Good work finding it. For our benefit how did you find it? by checking flow out of turbo drain first, or just whipping off oil feed line?

I unbolted the oil line from the turbo put a bucket underneath and started the car to check flow and there was little to none (it would have been messy if there was) I got a braided line and done the same thing and I got a few hundred ml in seconds. So not sure how or why but the line was blocked or something.. New turbo has been on for a solid 24 hours, feels and sounds a lot better already. Very relieved so far!

The line is blocked by the banjo bolt into the block usually. They have a .9mm restrictor built in don't they?

The VQ does anyway, it actually runs 3 restrictors due to high oil pressure.

its an oil line that is 15-20 yrs old, and with the restrictors they have in them they will undoubtedly gather deposits and block over such a period of time.

you are sorted for boost and tune now :)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
