But that would impact all cylinders evenly. It doesn't explain why #2 has gone and the others look okay.

Thanks Dougal

Not having a VNT to play with myself, is there any detailed drawings about, showing the inner workings of these types of turbo's ?

There are many good web-pages which show their operation. There is a good graphic on this page: MotorSportsCenter.com.
It is essentially a ring of stator vanes with variable angle (they are linked together) which works to vary the inlet angle of gas into the turbine wheel. The overall effect is an adjustable turbine housing geometry, smaller for earlier spool up, larger for better flow.

Hi All

What I was looking for is, the effect on the seals, resulting from a problem with a sticking mechanism.

Is the turbo that is used on the 2.8TGV a Garrett VNT15 or is it the larger unit?

Found this, which nearly had the exploded drawing that I was looking for.

VNT15-Turbo

Another thing to throw in the mix, what is the effect on a VNT turbo if the air cleaner is nearly blocked and a vacuum develops at the turbo's intake?

I beleive a GT2256V is the one on the 2.8. All the small frame garretts are built in a similar way so a VNT15 diagram is still applicable. As long as the turbo can still produce positive boost the intake seal will keep passing air to the centre housing and not leak any appreciable oil outwards.

an old trick for finding surface depressions is to pour a very thin film of oil onto it, the oil will pool into the low spots and surface tension will pull the oil into shape

ok, I was looking at the head picture not the piston. I see the blob on #4 and will have a closer inperson inspection.

I wonder if Serge could verify that for us, the next time he is near the motor?

What is it that you want me to confirm?

go to this thread: boost lost???

most is covered in there of the symptom, fix and result. Note, it was fixed, installed and test driven on a Friday night (short run say 3km) then saturday morning a short run (say 5 km) to my mates workshop for its oil change....the rest is history
