Giving up on the turbo? It's dead and needs replacing? What's the story?

I'm hoping that LED's have changed the game

Ahhh the turbo.... I'm giving up on THAT turbo.... I've ordered a brand spanking shiny sexy new one. From what I can gather(have spoken to a couple of mechanics and 1 even had a look at it) and figure out with my ears and eyes that turbo needs some tlc... I think it's the wastegate sticking open. But I'm not confident to fool with such fast spinny things so I shall get a new one. I'm thinking I'll sell the old one cheap cheap - someone with some more knowledge will just do a rebuild on it.

You'll sell that turbo to some bugga who'll buy a 20c seal, spend half an hour in his shed and have it working perfectly

At least, that's the sort of thing that happens to me

I'm taking the Mrs for a drive in the 109 tomorrow , so hope nothing at all breaks.
cheers,

They're tall beasts aren't they. My plan is to slowly do mine up (which is why I'm on the forum not in the shed ) but by the time I'll have her finished, I'll need a fruit box to get up into her. Seriously. I'm starting at 59 and with a ten year program being reasonable, old age and decrepitude could catch up. I'm getting back on my pushbike - the lad thinks it's for my health but it's really so I'm flexible enough to work on Wombat.

And yes, I'm about to drag on my 'dirty clothes' and go out into the shed.

slowly does it Mate, there's no rush - think how great it will be when you drive it down the street.
cheers,
