It only takes 5 mins to whip the compressor housing off, a few bolts and a tap with a rubber mallet is all it takes - as you know it takes a bit of time to have the turbo off the motor first tho.

As far as the different core in original housings goes, I cant help you there. There has been a lot of talk about TD5 turbos, so the info you are looking for is there somewhere.

I did not look as was scared by taking it apart I would put it out of balance. Guessing it would be a good idea to take off and have a look as you suggest before ordering a new core. I have posted separately in case I do need a new core. I will take the turbo off at the weekend and report back. Thanks Simon.

Taking the housing off will not harm it. Just be careful removing it and of course mark or note some alignment mark between the housing and the core.

I only suggest it to be sure the core needs replacing.

Dont forget to have a good look at the housing too, if the sensor fragment gouged it then the airflow will not be as it should. The new core will work but not as good as it should.

Good luck.
