Thread: TD6 Turbo Replacement

Thanks Gary.

I'm hoping Gav may have the Garret number. I was planning on calling the Roto crew in Melb.

Yeah, got mine from Roto Master in Melbourne - good service and good price. See below pic for all the numbers. The number on my original turbo had superseded many times and it took them a while to work out what I needed. I believe this is quite a common unit - they should have one in stock, if not, usually next day.

OK, spoke to Mr Roto and he's given me a check list to go through before he'll take my money.

One question I have - what's the best way to check for crank case pressure? Should there be any - If the filter is ok, should I be able to remove the dipstick while the engine is running?

I have fitted the BWM spin filter part quite a while ago but I was slack, it had started puffing a small amount of blue smoke before I did it - what prompted me off my backside. When I told him that, he commented that the oil could be left over from when it was blocked, and to check pressure again - clean the turbo up and see if it is still leaking (I know basics right?). IMO it is, the oil is too clean to be an old leak. As mentioned up further the noise and lack of boost could be a gasket.

I did the same as you - had the replacement breather kit, but didn't fit it until I had noticeable crankcase pressure. After fitting the new kit, I've had no issues, but I haven't measured it.

Found this on Ebay . Would buy it myself if I had the money.

Gav's turbo cost $1100 incl GST.

Gary, other thing I've been told by Mr Roto - there are different turbos through the run. He wants the number off the turbo which I'm not sure I can get while it is in place. Weather they were just supersede of each other I'm not sure, Gav reported that the early unit had been superseded 7 times - there's a good chance that's an old version now....

I've confirmed I have no crank case pressure. The car is in the garage up off the floor, tonight I will remove a few covers to get the two air hoses off, check for oil quantity and apparently I should be able to get a finger on the shaft to check for movement - this should give an idea if I need to read a number off the turbo or look for a gasket leak.

rar, want dirty hands?

Sounds good. Let me know a time. I will have to work around Scouts, kids etc.

I have no experience with VNTs but my roller bearing Garrett GT28R had a little shaft movement since new which Im told is taken up by oil.
