Well i think the time has come to finally take my engine out!!! I have got poor idleing at the mo plus i sometimes get blue smoke on idle and i have low boost! so im thinking i want to check and recondition the turbos. plus the tax is due and im buying some down pipes and de cats. i also need to do the rocker cover gaskets, the centre prop bearing, some welding, new det sensor and a water by pass!

 

Im also thinking ill change the clutch while im there but is there anything else i should do while the engine is out? Cambelt has already been done.

 

Also can anyone recommend a company to replace/recondition my turbos?

 

 

thanks

Thats quite a list, but better to attack everything at once! Good luck with it, I'm taking my engine out in the next few weeks too!:sweatdrop:

SilverBullit can do you a turbo recon (including an upgrade to 360 thrust bearings) for about 600 or thereabouts.

 

Sounds like you've got quite a hill to climb - good luck! Might be worth identifying the source of that smoke though (before you take the engine out), just incase you miss something and the problem persists? Just an idea.

yeah im going to do a compression test beforew i take it out and if i have odd numbers i may do new rings head gasket etc
