    Vnt exhaust impeller q.

    Took my rangie for a test run and this awful noise was coming from the turbo.
    So stripped it down (I had put a bearing kit in it ages ago and can't remember if I noticed the issue or not and was going to look into it) and noticed the steel disc that sits behind the exhaust impeller moves all over the place.
    So went through my box of stripped turbo's (2 more the same) and can't seem to find any extra parts that would retain this.
    Is it just sandwiched between the impeller and that cartridge? I wouldn't think so.

    Yep. They rattle around on my spare turbos too.

    The two VNT's which are garage ornaments rattle, but I've never heard anything from the GT1646V on the skoda.

    Perhaps a small shim, spring or washer instead.

    My other vehicles with vnt's don't make noises.
    With a shim, the steel disc would wear as it spins agains the cartridge. A little confusing

    The heat shield should be stationary.
